even enough folks who were against bailouts on philosophical ground blinked all screaming, "save us now, for we promise to be good forever" now we have the situation where no one goes to jail, and everyone has been punished only questions, how much more punishments for how long by what means <<We witnessed the end of an era this month>> ... more like we took the family to see a children's cartoon comedy at the theatre, all was going fine and the cartoon bunny all of a sudden transformed into the main character of a halloween movie player, ultra violent, and rated xxx

Will the Banking-Babalu, Lazarus of USA rise again?? youtube.com Though originally associated with smallpox, many of today's worshippers appeal to BabaluAye for healing from _the Latest, Greatest USA bamk-financing crises_ The origins of this deity trace back to the Fon traditions of Yoruba mythology, and appear in Cuban Palo Mayombe (as Pata en Llaga or Cobayende), Haitian Voodoo, Brazilian Umbanda (as Abaluaye), and Candomblé Ketu (as Obaluaiê). In Cuban Santeria, Babalu Aye has been syncretized with Saint Lazarus. In Dahomey mythology, he is venerated as Sakpata, god of smallpox. In this respect, he can be compared with Sitala or Mariamman, both Hindu goddesses of smallpox and disease. Babalu Aye is traditionally pictured in blue, brown, red, white, purple, and is offered rice, wheat, corn, beans, chickpeas, garlic, onions, smoked fish and possum in divination rituals.[2] --- IMF said nothing can do nothing anything anymore, expect if IMF is totally re/constructed and re/capitalize.

It will not help.Credit hit 380% of GDP and it is inherently unstable at this level and collapsed on itself.Credit must fall to 150% GDP.When credit falls all assets fall.Housing to return to 4-5X income level and stocks to 10-12X earnings.All of this in an environment of a recession and 9-10% unemployment in the US.People will not borrow and banks will not lend until these long term ratios are restored,otherwise the risk is to great.Now add a socialized government/banking system and we are screwed.I will ride EWZ for the bounce and then load up on shorts.They can try to inflate us into our income but if bond rates rise houses fall more.I am not sure they really care about houses any more.Banks will be stabilized at all cost and money lent to buisnesses.It is better for the US to have housing fall as long as it doesnt sink the banks.The consumer is a goner
