      we are entering a chaotic period whereby all US partners try desperately to refloat the dollar just like the US struggled from 1920-1933 to keep the pound as the global trade currency power, they used every trick in the book and they all failed. Selling RMB against the YEN and the Dollar will drive China to win the trade game Oct 06 02:29 PM

      TARP I: $ 700.000.000.000,
      potential closures more or less 6.000.000 households,
      bailout/potential closure $ 116.667.
      Conclusion: $ 700b is enough if expended wisely wishfull thinking...
      the problem is of solvency, why they are focused in liquidity?
      Bad banks must die and their depositors needs to be bailed out
      Ireland style.

      Now, the monetary economy of tarp i is simple:
      mv=pq,
      more m, given v/q constant, means only more p,
      we all know q is collapsing in the US
      because of (g - t) caused too much (m - x)
      as m-x was funded by b*
      now the foreign holders of b wants a lot more i
      you can get domestic b with a low i
      but as p is going to the moon,
      your i/p will go to hell if you not fix
      g - t = 0 with a very positive x-m
      t is reduced by tarp 1
      and g is increased,
      so more m and less x
      more money for China and the Gulf
      to fund those bonds.

      Is possible to be a fool, a lawyer and a good man at the same time?
      Well, the bailout pack 1 is $ 700.000.000.000, the potential closures
      more or less 6.000.000 households, so bailout/potential closure
      $ 116.667. Conclusion: $ 700b is enough if expended wisely, that is the key issue here.

      the problem is of solvency, why they are focused in liquidity?
      good banks are not supposed to collapse if their assets are
      good, is Economics 101, or all the banks full of garbage debt?
      Bad banks must die and their depositors needs to be bailed out
      Ireland style by the rest of taxpayers, is not fair but the option is
      unacceptable. There are some moral decissions to be taken now.

      My advise?

      The option taken by Chile in a similar situation in 1983 is a less costly option in terms of future economic growth. The Chilean Central bank took all the bad paper in exchange of cash to fund the deposits. The government was just requested to keep out of the deficit so no fiscal debt was issued.

      The local currency depreciated significantly, increasing the competitiveness of the exports and attracting a huge flow of foreign investment so real state market was ready to grow next year. Government debt traded in the secondary market with a big discount,
      and debt to equity swaps created opportunities for foreign investment in most of the economic sectors. The economy was growing China style 2 years after. Pain now, gain tomorrow matbe Obamacaine have the guts, I recognize that it was POW lifestyle for a while, but it worked.

      For monetary economy lovers:

      mv=pq,
      more m, given v/q constant, means only more p,
      we all know q is collapsing in the US
      because of (g - t) caused too much (m - x)
      as m-x was funded by b*
      now the foreign holders of b wants a lot more i
      you can get domestic b with a low i
      but as p is going to the moon,
      your i/p will go to hell if you not fix
      g - t = 0 with a very positive x-m

      Yen and swiss francs by now, common sense and public interest must prevail.

      if the problem is of solvency, why they are focused in liquidity?
      good banks are not supposed to collapse if their assets are
      good, is Economics 101, or all the banks full of garbage debt?
      Bad banks must die and their depositors needs to be bailed out

      Is true that GS benefited from AIG collapse? I really dont know.
