Nationalizing the Banks

Tell me again how unfettered capitalism is a good thing. The Republicans and the Rand acolytes did everything they could to remove all regulations from the financial sector and, as a result, the financial world is crashing down around our ears.

So now even the Republicans are beginning the process of nationalizing the banks. I know the article say they "may," but there is no "may" about it. And no, it's not going to be "voluntary," for we have tried "voluntary regulation" and "voluntary compliance" and let me tell you: That shit does not work.

Here is my idea: Let's send in demolition teams and blow up all of the business schools. Even better, let the Air Force practice their surgical bombing skills on them (what could go wrong), they can do it lots quicker. Those "B-school" geniuses just fuck things up; we have had a Harvard Business School graduate in the White House for the last eight years (minus 103 days) and hasn't that worked really well? Mister "HBS class ring" has fucked up everything he has touched.

Because I'm feeling kindly, we'll let the B-schools send their faculty home before bombing them into rubble. Though I'm kind of on the fence about that.
