It's interesting to see that in the world's greatest Capitalist economy, the USA, they're having to fall back on the old Socialist principle of State assistance to bail out failing financial institutions. In effect partial Nationalisation. Whodya thought it ?

The stock market is 5 times higher than it was in 1987 & has always been a long term thing, even during the Great Depression. As long as the remedy is a loan & not a bailout I'm for it.  See Chrysler in the 80's & they actually paid it back to Uncle Sam.

A BAILOUT IS A BAIL OUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU CALL IT.
IT STILL DOESN'T ADDRESS THE REALLY PROBLEM, GREED AND THE HOUSING MARKET.

What's happening is a that the market are not being allowed to work, If they were then we would have a small crash then the market would start all over again.

You will not forget we're having the same here and our PM is concentrating on helping institutions with electorally vulnerably located head offices first

THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE MARKETS ARE GETTING THE MONEY BUT NOT THE BANKS WHO NEED IT. IT SEEMS TO BE INSURANCE COMPANIES AND INVESTMENT COMPANIES THAT INVESTED POORLY. (GREED)
THESE ARE THE GUYS THAT UNDER CUT THE BANKS FOR LOANS AND TOOK OVER YOUR HOUSEING MARKET. YOU ALSO DON'T HAVE THE SAME PROTECTION THOUGH THEM LIKE YOU WOULD GET WITH A BANK.
THE MARKETS ARE ABLE TO CORRECT THEMSELVES WHICH WAS SHOWN THE DAY AFTER. I STILL WON'T THROW THE MONEY AT THE MARKETS. TOO MUCH OF A GAMBLE. BEST TO PLACE IT WITH THE BANKS AND LET THEM HANDLE THE HOUSE MORTAGES. AT LEAST YOUR MONEY IS GARANTEED A RETURN.
IF YOU LOST MONEY WITH YOUR 401K OR WHAT EVER YOU CALL IT IT'S LOST AND ISN'T GOING TO BE PAID BACK TO YOU OUT OF THE 700 BILLION LIKE SOME PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK. THAT WOULD BE WISHFUL THINKING.

The Senate version of the plan limits CEO's compensation to $500K and no gloden parachutes.
