So there are no nuclear energy rocks? Why are you such a liar?

Why discuss options that don't exist?

The government had the power to stop the banks from doing what they did but the government failed to see the consequences of how banks were doing business.

This is just completely wrong. It was THE GOVERNMENT who stepped in and told the banks to make mandatory loans to people who didn't have sufficient credit, in order to finance homes they couldn't afford.

Which means that the government was regulating the banks and could have stopped them by just not requiring them to do anything. This only means that there is no capitalism any more.

The capitalists were just as culpable. Taking these mortgages THEY KNEW WERE BAD and repackaging them as new investment securities was particularly malicious. They knew what they were doing.

Government and big business have fused together in a big "fuck the little guy" fusion.

If they knew what they were doing then why did so many of them get screwed over only some of them got out in time.

No, it means that when GOVERNMENT starts meddling in Banking, just as anything else done by the private sector, it fucks it all up worse. Government is NOT the solution, free market, private sector, capitalism IS the answer, always!

People whine and moan about "unbridled" capitalism, but we should strive for our 'economy horse' to be as close to unbridled as humanly possible! When private sector capitalism is unleashed, there is no limit to the potential, from an economic standpoint, or from a security standpoint. We do need some sensible regulation on capitalism, I have never said otherwise, but what we have now, is borderline Communism, with the State taking more and more control of Capitalism. The Government is NOT the answer!

But what about bankers taking the mortgages they knew were bad and reselling them all around the world, dixie? Please address this, if you dare.

The Chernobyl disaster occurred because the Soviets operating that plant did not have the degree of oversight, regulation and quality assurance required to operate safely. This is the point I am making and this is the lesson the French have learned about nuclear power. Nuclear power must meet three criteria or it is not viable. It must be safe, it must be clean and it must be cost affective. The first two conditions cannot be assured by the free market. The free market does many things well. This is not one of them and considering the huge destructive potential of nuclear power how can you trust those who's position is to elminiate and undermine the institutional controls needed to make nuclear power a viable option.

Let me put it to you like this. Would you want the same people managing nuclear safety policy that were regulating our financial services industry when it collapsed?

Commies didn't have regulation and oversight?

Your argument boils down to this: France has nukes run by the government, so that is good. The USSR had a pant run by the government, but that was bad.

Will if neither can be trusted should both be destroyed? Should Corporations be broken down into small businesses? Should the goverment be shrunk back to where it was 100 years ago? Can Unions be trusted either? What large organization can be trusted?

France has a lot of nuclear weapons and nulear technology. It also has a large number of muslims. Muslims have high birth rates while the French have a low one. Large numbers of muslims immigrate to france every year. Once the muslims become the majority they will take over France and could establish Sharia law if they wanted to. What will muslims do with France. They will have nukes and the ability to mass produce them on a massive scale. Is France falling to Islam dangerous to World security. Italy also is likely to be taken over by muslims as well as other european countries.
