Nice.
I also like “Let the Prices Tell the Truth!”
Or maybe something like:
Goverment Buyouts = Higher Prices!
Or, alternatively:
“$700 billion just don’t buy what it used to.. or will..”
http://media.capitalist.me/NoStabilization.jpg
End the Fed!!!!!
or the old one:
Don’t tread on me!!!!!
How about “And now a big welcome for the new Office of Homeland Foreclosure!”
That’s the coolest thing ever!
Office of Homeland Foreclosure…excellent! Start printing the t-shirts and bumper stickers before someone else does, Steve.
How about
STOP STEALBILIZING U.S.
Don’t buy Toxic Debt With MY Money!
backstabilization
$1 Trillion Bailout = 20% Inflation
a couple of questions:
1.) why aren’t y’all(vMI) selling that sticker?
2.) why not Act on Caveman’s suggestion?
and, I’ll second this: “Let the Prices Tell the Truth!” from Jordan Bullock
also, remember, the audience that you’re hoping to reach thinks “Okrah!” is a quality source of information..
No cash for crooks!
Bankers deserve bail–not bail-out!
“Coins Don’t Lie”
Must be easily understandable by the non-initiated.
@Hoffer: excellent! I dare changing it to “GOLD coins don’t lie”
Best regards everyone.
Stabilization is chaos. Granted. But no stabilization is also chaos. I’m for a happy medium. We want things to fail well which means not catastrophically. But things should certainly fail if they deserve it. Why not seriously limit leverage? . I just don’t see the good of allowing it.
Totally agree. Let’s start by eliminating the leverage mechanism from the system – the Fed.
Oil Shock,
I am a big fan of reducing leverage, but I am not a fan of imposing this via governmental fiat. Certification and insurance agencies of the banks would be free to contractually limit their liabilities’ actions in these regards. Heck to remain solvent themselves the insurers would be forced to.
I was not suggesting a government fiat, instead, I was suggesting the elimination of an unnecessary branch of government – the Fed.
Bankers deserve bail–not bail-out!
Change to: bankers don’t deserve bail — let alone bail-out!
“Don’t Blame Me – I Voted for Ron Paul”
Well requiring full reserves for banks ( not fractional reserves ) would mostly eliminate the Fed’s ability to increase leverage to ‘stimulate the economy’
Maybe this is a good idea or not I can’t really say, but if the required reserves were slowly percentage point by percentage point increased towards 1, on a regular schedule the effects could be assessed.
I doubt the discipline not to do monetary policy in recessions could exist long enough to actually slowly transition to a full reserve banking system. But full reserves seems intuitively like a good idea.
What about creating another currency other than the dollar that is legal tender in the US, but mandate full reserve banking for this currency ( call em simoleons ) and see which currency wins? Gresham’s law would mean people would want to spend spend the inflationary dollar but maybe they would want to do their banking with a sound currency. What harm could it do to try it out?
What is the name of template you used in your www ?
