Your guy (“He’s so dreamy…”) put together a flawed bailout package that does not stimulate the economy – it is a spend program that directs towards a couple of industries – like the auto industry, oh, and $50M(?) for conversion to HDTV. Like that is gonna help anyone if you don’t have a TV. Or a house. Or a job.
My guy on the other hand (the one with the “hidden agenda”) bought up quality mortgages that they held ultimately anyway – to provide more capital so more GOOD QUALITY LOANS could be made through stable banks to those who want to grow their business or their livelihood. This is a tenet of capitalism.
You are obviously a troll sir.
Good day.
My guy doesn’t exist. My guy would say the way to stimulate the economy is to shrink government, reduce tax’s and reduce regulations. Harper is doing the exact opposite on all three counts.
And I don’t think governments taking over bank loans be they good ones or bad ones is in any way capitalistic. It sounds like socialism to me.
