The fastest way to get us out of a depression, is to give every household in the country $30,000. Since we stupid taxpayers are going to pay for it, we might as well spend it. As for the government own lending bank, again, they are bailing out the banks and credit card companies. They are not paying off your or my debt, they are propping up the greedy bangansters with your and my money.

Government launching its own lending bank. That's the first sane thing that I've heard. The unfortunate part is that from what I've read, they're still not targeting the correct borrowers. Giving it to commercial real estate or monoline insurers still puts a layer of intermediaries in between where the money really needs to go. I actually think that lending money to the car makers was, in theory, the right thing to do. The downside is that the UAW is still going to prevent them from being competitive and that money was thrown down a rathole.
