in a rational world the 'save the homeowners plan' was always the best one - Some of the Bankers just don't know how to deal with 'the Psychology' - You know they think America hast to show to the world that our form of capitalism still works - or there is not going to be any more money to bail out the homeowners!
because i posted on an earlier threat:
'I'm sure I'm not the only female in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America and I seriously considering becoming a lesbian -
but only if i don't have to move to Alaska. -
Hey i actually would never move to Alaska it was just a joke -
Und Apfelstrudel macht auch eindeutig mehr Sinn!
my problem is - i have no economic argument to make - because as i have confessed before i don't know enough about economics - I only could point out the absurdity of an argument which was made - and from the arguments i followed on one of my favorite blogs
- the housingbubbleblog.com (and where they made much more sense) - i only can tell - you will not be able to make an argument in the same way you deal with your subjects of torture or national security - You have to forget every bit of bias and every bit of ideology and even THEN you might not reach a conclusion - because the picture is too big and much to divers (especially for an idiot like me) - And when i tried to start with homebuyers (who i thought were fools) and the lenders (who i thought were greedy and fools) - and i followed the lead up to the bankers (who were the even bigger fools)- to Wall Street and to the politicians (who were unbelievable greedy and awesome idiotic) i still couldn't solve the riddle as easy as a lot of these idiots on the so called right (who just blamed 'the people') - or the so called left (who mainly blamed Wall Street or the politicians) -
The only thing i understood - there are so many 'Feelings' involved that even Freud (or especially Freud) would have had a problem (are Americans ....? - fill in whatever you want) -
and so i FELT - just felt - that you should not play stupid political games with this issue -
and a lot of people over here in good old Europe felt just the same thing - and they felt that somebody over there in the US od A - years ago should have put the brakes on this madness and that every day which is waisted in NOT solving the problem is a lost day - and blablabla - you know all these empty words - and the only thing i know - i really know - is
- if America can't convince the world (and itself) ASOP that our outdated and f... up capitalistic system is still okidoki i will have a lot of troubles and no money in the future - and as good American i don't like that at all!
and suddenly there are voices in my family, who tell me that McCain and Palin should inherit the depression and not Obama!
