Say Ahh.

February

This week’s edition of “stomach churning market-drop” was apparently exacerbated by banks’ worries that they would be nationalized as part of the bailout. Senators Schumer and Dodd seemed to believe we had no choice. The Obama administration said they had no plans to do it. And bankers ran around screaming. Seems like a semantic worry to me. Nonetheless, we had to put aside the currently instinctual response of “if the bankers don’t like it, it must be good” and assume that nationalizing banks would be bad (hence the above cartoon.) Though I still can’t comprehend the idea that somehow there are entities that could do a worse job of running them than the current crop.
