What part did you find me acting like I have ileitis? The idea that the two banking conglomerates are about to be nationalised is all over Wall St, and the general disatisfaction with Geitner is attributed to the street's recognition that the banks are the key to our economy and that Geitner has, so far, not provided any signs he has a good idea about what to do. Personally, I'm trying to figure out whether my own funds in BoA are safe.

I have this terrifying vision of the federal government being in charge of the interest rate on my BofA credit card, interest on my Savings account, fees on my checking account and setting all the ATM fees. If you think the IRS was bad, just wait for the Federal Bank of America. At least the IRS only picks your pocket on payday.
Indirectly they already do for interest rates. They're invariably pegged to the rate on treasury bonds in some way shape or form.

that is the least of your worries. just wait until it is determined that there is simply no reason why Rob's bank balance could have been legitimately increased by $1,000 last Friday while Oakman's has stayed level. or gosh it is the time of the year to do the annual account balance sweep to ensure that everyone starts the new year on an even basis.
Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

Well some are trying to find a way into the future. Perhaps if the red-necked neo-cons would accept that they failed they could start helping. One upshot is seeing RNNs making socialist sounding comments. That's why they're so quiet of late.

Pick up your reloading supplies yet? Best to stock up on shotgun shells now, before anyone notices the buckshot can't be "tagged"...

Actually, only in theory. In practice, the banks can and do charge/pay whatever the market will bear. Bonds float around daily. CD/Savings/checking interest rates change quarterly at best, and annually in many cases. Interest charged on credit cards is whatever the market will bear or the law allow (the latter lately, as banks are trying to recoup their losses on the backs of credit card borrowers).

I can't for the life of me remember which South American country recently nationalized everyone's 401K-equivalent, announcing that they would be handling everyone's pension plan from now on. . . But wouldn't that be an interesting way for Obama to 'solve' the Social Security 'problem?'

Start helping who? The government so they can nationalize the banks faster? The best thing for republicans to do is not support the current admin.
