Roborovskii 4th Gear October 10, 2008 Share October 10, 2008 Barter trade. No more credit no more crisis Or just blast everything to smithereens (WWIII) Honestly, no idea. Don't know if anyone knows or can work out a solution either. Yes right now TIME and nature seems to be the best bet, but surely there would be countless casualties.

Silver_blade Turbocharged October 10, 2008 Share October 10, 2008 (edited) many measures implemented : - $700bn bailout plans - Central banks feeding $$$ to boost liquidity - Banks nationalisation - Central banks coordinated effort to cut rates But NONE seems to work what do you think should be done ? It should work if all countries and all the richest men in the world get together, put their differences and interest aside and work to solve the problem. But that will not happen.

Whitecvt Clutched October 10, 2008 Share October 10, 2008 (edited) many measures implemented : - $700bn bailout plans - Central banks feeding $$$ to boost liquidity - Banks nationalisation - Central banks coordinated effort to cut rates But NONE seems to work what do you think should be done ? take that $700bn.... distribute to the low to mid income people. They are the key engine to this economy... imagine, if WE were given a bulk of money (say... 1 million each)..... you would be tempted to go out and spend more right? buy more = business better, business better = higher demand for production, higher production and better business = banks richer, banks richer = give loans easier, easier loans = more $$ for us to spend more, and so on...... this economy will self-heal. all income groups, low-middle-high, get a boost in spending power which will see cash going to settling loans, buying more essentials or luxuries.. etc won't this be money well spent? better than knowing that taxpayers 700bn goes to executives with SUPER FAT pay checks and Spa retreats when the company is supposed to be bankrupt :) Think abt it ... so WHAT if companies fail? we have seen it in the telco industry gloom previously... all the companies that survived came out stronger and alot more wise with their budgets. also, it makes the general public feel better abt everything... not losing confidence in the economy Edited October 10, 2008 by Whitecvt ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
