Something pretty much like this happened in Mexico with the FOBAPROA(Fondo Bancario de Protección Ahorro) when a bunch of banks went belly up and the government decided to "rescue" them just like yours is doing right now. What happened was that the whole fucking debt that those banks had incurred over time had to be paid with the taxpayers money.
Trust me, it's only gonna get worse if people don't start acting like they should and start demanding proper measures. This is what happens when rampant capitalism goes awry in an economy that pretty much is dependent on it.
This has happened before already-in my country, look it up and brace yourselves for what's coming.

If the US economy goes from just being in a toilet to being flushed I predict Canada will more or less be fine. As Canada is viewed as a producer of commodities the world view on Canada will be fine, as commodities are always in high demand, and the lack of faith in a market is what causes and starts a run, which is whats happening in the US.
Hardest hit area's will be the manufacturing sector, which is already on its way to the crapper.

Call me an optimist but this is exactly why the Fed exists, we'll be fine if the sheep don't panic too bad.
My aunt was staying with some one this weekend, on Friday he had stocks worth $2 million, by Sunday just $12 000. You have to feel sorry for him, now he is bankrupt.
The only thing that makes me feel atleast a tiny bit relieved is that since I'm Jewish I have the right to be a citizen of Israel, so I can always head over there if need be. And everyone speaks English there, which is good because I can't get used to that damn language (not that I've tried much). Only thing is they need to start putting their military strength to use and getting us some more land to live in. All the Jews in the world can't fit into that tiny little sliver of a country. Who'll miss Lebanon, huh? I don't even think the Lebanese would feel too bad about it.
Man, forget Canada, I'm going to Mexico: The last place in the hemisphere I can still feel rich.meatloaf231 post=18.71691.733634 said:
The Fed's why we're here in the first place. If they'd have some damn sense and maybe prop up a regulation or two. Or maybe, just maaaaaybe bump up the interest rates to slow down all the speculators(you know, in order to prevent something like the dot-com bubble which just busted a just a few years earlier? How did no one see this?). The fact is, the banks fucked us over, the Fed fucked us over, and worst of all, we fucked ourselves over.Eldritch Warlord post=18.71691.733774 said:

"They missed some" on purpose. You can't bail out every institution. After having to step in to save Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, it makes sense for the Federal Reserve to step back for a while (for what it's worth, I think the Bear Stearns bail-out was probably a mistake, but I can see how it might've made sense at the time). The financial services industry needs to lose some of its bloat. That means stuff will get worse before it gets better. But the alternative -- entangling American taxpayers even more than they are already entangled -- is far worse. Let the investors swallow the loss for a change (unfortunately "investor" does include "regular person with a 401k," so the situation still sucks).Mathew952 post=18.71691.733353 said:

Very true, but that's life. We're stuck between a rock and a hard place, so we're going to have to make the best out of a shitty situation.Alex_P post=18.71691.733977 said:
What really torques my jaws though is the CEOs expecting some kind of severance pay for driving their business into the ground so hard, the government has to step in. I'm glad the Housing Agency told them to get fucked; one of the rare instances I was proud of my government.
The problem is almost everyone in the western world is in debt. Credit cards, car payments, etc etc etc. The world is just starting to realise that they've sold everyone their products but nobody has the money to pay them back...
