How does nationalizing the banks solve the problem? There is a serious misconception (by everyone, but most definitely by the politicians) that the United States is financially strong despite our $50 trillion in liabilities and monumental deficits. Fact is, America is a very weak nation financially and nationalizing the banks would call our bluff on it all.

Keep debasing, keep monetizing the back end of the curve... 15-20% broad MZ money growth, 1% fed funds and 4% long term treasuries go a long way towards getting us out of this mess but creating a severe inflation problem on the back side especially if/when the rest of the world starts cutting rates too. They can keep the broad stock market averages range bound for 3-4 years as our total monetary aggregate doubles along with cost of living..
