Well, with the latter , of course, the taxpayer picks up the tab. Having said that, I would much rather our government here retained control of our utilities, and all nuclear and sensitive industries, by nationalisation, than allowing them to fall into the control of foreign companies and by that token, foreign countries.
All I am saying is that here we have the worst of all world's politically. Our government just does not know when to hold 'em, know when to throw 'em, know when to walk away and know when to run. No money, no houses, no room, no privacy, no safety, no controlled borders, no idea of how many of us live here, no idea of many illegals we have in our economy, and so on and so on.
Now this thread asks who created the financial problems. Well, we know all about the banks and their greed and irresponsibility; agreed. But we have checks and balances in the Ministry of our Chancellor of the Exchequer, who claims to be just about the world's greatest consultant on finance, calls himself the Iron Chancellor, claims to have detroyed boom and bust for ever. Now he is Prime Minister. His right arm should have been The Bank of England and its powers.
So here in Britain, I say that the buck stops with government who have enjoyed unbridled power since 1997.
And TOG, I expect you feel the same about your government, although, after only 8 years, the critics seem to feel that in your case the problem reaches further back than that.
That's all, folks. Not politickin, just pinning the blame where it belongs, in our case, which is within my experience.
