How many of you realize this is the end of American style capitalism?

We are going tp have to adapt to new systems just like all the othr countries who have existed for hundreds and even thousands of years.

History... aint it cool, no matter how great you are no one ever escapes it. That's deep.

That's what the Republicans said about FDR also. Sometimes systems have to adapt, such as instituting the FDIC in order to prevent the runs on banks and future collapses of the system.

The Bush's administration's takeovers of various private business entities is a lot more indicative of an end of American capitalism.

No - it SHOULD be the end of government rules on lending money to unqualified borrowers

Congress caused this, not capitalism
