Ireland second European nation to seek bailout

I don't think this is a conservative vs liberal issue. It's more of a well regulated banking system vs deregulated banking system. Banks should not be able to get into investment banking nor playing the derivatives game. This happened not only in the US but also internationally. Take a glance...

Ireland second European nation to seek bailout

The banks and government of Ireland failed the people. Their banks played plenty of games during the real estate bubble that happened worldwide. Now those same banks have become reliant upon the ECB and bleeding deposits. All those austerity measures haven't worked out either since tax revenue...

Ireland second European nation to seek bailout

They went too hard on austerity measures coupled with the uncertainty of cost associated with bailing out the Anglo Irish bank has caused the yields of their bonds to go up. Not to mention in 2008, they took the measure of covering the losses of all the banks in Ireland. Still to this day, they...

Ireland second European nation to seek bailout

So much for their austerity measures, looks like they'll be reading Keynes General Theory pretty soon. Ireland's government has slashed public-sector spending by 7.5% of gross domestic product with a series of drastic cuts this year: public sector pay by 15%, child benefit by 10%...

Rev. Al writes NFL to block Limbaugh team purchase

I don't see the big deal, neither Rev. Sharpton nor a few players complaining will diminish or improve the chance of Dave Checketts and Rush Limbaugh buying the team. Currently they are one of six ownership groups trying to buy the team or a majority stake in the team. This has more to do with...

Roman Polanski, Hollywood, and Justice

Polanski slept with an under age minor which can mean one of two things. If she was past the age of puberty it was statutory rape. Prepubescent makes it child molestation.

Roman Polanski, Hollywood, and Justice

Roman Polanski, Hollywood, and Justice

You are confusing laws between civil cases and criminal cases. Criminal law concerns activities that society has outlawed, while civil law is about the rights and liabilities between private parties. In criminal law the government decides whether to prosecute and the court determines...

The Brain Drain

You didn't understand what LegendKiller wrote at all. Basically people who made/make millions for these banks that are now struggling, are being picked off by the competition. When you make millions for a bank who failed on another front of the business and see your pay get affected, well that...
