I don’t understand this argument....they are saying that its more beneficial to artifically hold up the market rather than to let it naturally contract, right? So, can someone please explain how manipulating the natural course of things is going help us? If we create jobs and loans that shouldn’t be there, how far are we setting ourselves up to fall then?

>>I don’t understand this argument..

It’s simple and can be condensed into two words:

“Protection Racket.”

Sabato says Wall Street executives are lucky they haven’t been lined up against a barn door and shot, with the blindfolds cut from their golden parachutes.

Big Media spiked it but there was a pretty big demonstration on Wall Street in front of the exchange yesterday. One sign said “Jump you F-ers”.

This scam could not continue forever even though all the movers and shakers tried their best to make it so. It's now ended and attempts to tweek it will only make it worse.
