Creating leverage (at a cost to every tax payer alive and to be born in the next several decades) to inflate the price of the toxic assets, excuse me - “legacy loans” is certainly maddening and perhaps madness. I thought the point was to deal with the real issues, not prop up some balance sheets based on ridiculous access to leveraged loans.
Oh wait, that is EXACTLY how we got into this mess int the first place. Isn’t it time for some new concept or thought? Wouldn’t it be nice to fund the Banks with $1 Trillion in DEPOSITS that are mandated to loan into the economy for job creating projects?
Wouldn’t be even better if the entire $1 Trillion came from the public (individual, corporate, and retirement funds sector) without a single dollar - that’s right not $1.00 of direct government funding. There exists a detailed plan and Tax Initiative Proposal that accomplishes all that and much more. If you want to really help solve the current economic crisis and build a sustainable and renewable funding of expanding economy, then get involved and Fax the White House asking them to take a serious look at this Budget Neutral proposal that creates 6 Million jobs in the next 30 months.

The current economic crisis is accelerating. It is time to take a hard look at what economic stimulus creates jobs and what does not!
The facts are alarming. Initial jobless claims last month rose to 626,000, a 26-year high, according to the Labor Department. The number of claims by people continuing to apply for unemployment benefits reached a new record of nearly 4.8 million, by the end of 2009 unemployment claimants could exceed 10 Million Americans.
