I think a relevant, realistic discussion of the pros and cons of
nationalization would be extremely helpful.
pros:
--it would put responsibility for the financial system squarely upon
elected and accountable functionaries
--it would open the books to unmask all the fraud and looting
perpetrated over the past generation, enabling substantial recovery
from the swindlers and looters
--it would enable the mobilization of capital resources indispensable
for the massive longterm program needed to rebuild the US (and world)
economy on the carbon-and-nuclear-free basis of unlimited solar/
aeolian energy
cons:
--the Dumbocratic and Republicon *cons* (french--translation
"assholes') owning the government would use the nationalized banks not
in the interest of the human race but only as a medium for new forms
of swindling and looting
--the profits from that looting and swindling would impel those cons
to do even more to wipe out the last traces of American democracy.
