The end of Investment Banking as we know it

this is now the …
this is now the best oppourtunity for i banking. old news based on short term fear

Yes they have their …
Yes they have their problems, like endemic poverty, rotting infrastructure, appalling health care(sorry but yes), political repression, lack of free speech, and no escape from their vicious political masters.
There is no embargo, Communist/Fascist dictators would surely let their people die before they took money from a rich successful nation like the USA.
Those who believe in Communism are the one’s who do alright.
When if fails, you can go there and help dig up the “enemies of the state”

Castro wanted to …
Castro wanted to prevent his country to turn into what Haiti is today. A dumping place for money launderers and gangster banksters! At least Cuba has some Integrity and survived for 50 years without this level of corruption. Can we say that of the US?

good for you! …
good for you! bankers and
wallstreet baStards your days of extortion
are OVER.

Most of the failure …
Most of the failure in the sub-prime mortgage racket is accounted for by illegals, Fraudsters who have engaged in massive house flipping, using illegals as straw buyers and buyers who were stupidly aware they could not afford the payments.
Federally elected created the environment which led to the banking meltdowns. Do you believe Congress is constitutionally,morally and academically capable of solving the meltdowns
Look to Washington and State Capitals for the real sources of terrorism

The illegal alien …
The illegal alien populations, particularly in the 10 national Metro areas are the rattlers in the room. Using matricula consular cards, accompanied by a pay stub have allowed illegals to obtain 100% subprime mortgages. The top banks profiting from the illegal alien home loan racket are Wachovia and Bank of America.

Sorry to butt in …
Sorry to butt in but i had to. ianclivewright have you ever been to Cuba? I assume you havent since it is nothing like what you describe. I have visited the island myself a couple of times and not only the pretty industrialized towns but the country side too. Yes they have their problems, yes the embargo affects them in many ways. But the way the people are treated (at least the ones that believe in their country and work hard for it) has nothing to do with how you describe the place.

Cuba is a sink of …
Cuba is a sink of poverty and injustice, like all Communist regimes. It’s people are poor, it has a massive infant mortality rate(which they lie about like good communists), injustice and political prisoners, like all Communist dictatorships. The embargo from the hated decadent USA shouldn’t affect it, as it hates capitalism. They wouldn’t want goods from the richest nation in the world, would they?
Typical of communists to whine about that.
Once butcher Castro dies it’ll fail.
Good riddance.

On what basis has …
On what basis has central planning led to misery in Cuba? Under Batista’s dictatorship, your imperialist friends plundered the wealth of that nation and left its people in abject poverty. Thanks to their great Revolution (nationalisation of resources), Cuba has the life expectancy of the US, a 1st-class health system, one of the highest tertiary-school enrollments and the second highest literacy rate in the world. All with a stifling embargo! Dont come into intellectual battles unarmed!

Cuba, is that a …
Cuba, is that a joke?
What a stirling example of how central planning can lead to a life of misery and poverty for its systems. Well the ones who meekly accept it anyway. The one’s who speak out, they get to go to prison. Bet Cuban prisons are a barrel of laughs.
Cuba, please, you failed to convince me.

Yes, …
Yes, nationalisations have worked! Take a look at Cuba. Nobody runs from nationalisations, that’s rubbish. What they run from are poverty and insecurity. The things that result from private greed and rapacity. Besides, no country has ever done what I said ought to be done, so u have no empirical or factual basis for regurgitating such western-imperialist nonsense!

Well …
Well nationalisations been a stirling success hasn’t it.
You can just here the walls going up, as nations strive to keep there people from running away.
History’s never happened to you, I hope it never does.

The only way to …
The only way to avoid a collapse of the financial system is to get rid of it! That is to say, the nationalisation of commercial banking to make credit available free of usuary. The end to monetary manipulation and speculation by supplying money as a function the value of production! Or we could just go back to good old bartering.
