i am not talking about "potential" implications, i am talking "implications FOR SURE!"

At times I have the feeling a lot of this bailing out is actually going to other countries.

yeah right! that's exactly in line with the decade long thinking of some of my dear american redneck friends who think potatoes, orange juice, bottom round, steaks and you name it would be much cheaper in the GNoE™ and the taxes would be much lower if the goods and the money were not exported to countries full of worthless people who lie under the shade of trees and are supported by american aid  

Trust me when I say I am as far from a redneck as is possible & still be in the same race...
But I remember reading parts of the original bailout that allowed the use of funds to be used anywhere in the world. I am not saying it benefits others as you describe but at times I have wondered if we were trying to make amends for some of the toxic bundles we sold. Which I thought in a sense amounted to counterfeit.
But your going down a very different street with your response & one that I have not traveled.

i am responding step by step. answering a dozen embedded questions with a dozen answers or responding to as many statements (as others do) is not my style.

It's the government behavior that is the issue, not the bankers.

Which government would that be, if you are talking about the government at the heart of this problem (that of the US) then you perhaps ought to know it was recently voted out.

The US certainly, the UK, and others more or less on the same page but more secretive in their efforts.  

Surely you can see all the principal players remain regardless of who is voted in or out.  they're always there.

You must have been living your life in some kind of hermetically sealed bubble not to have benefitted in the slightest from the boom of the last few years.... but then maybe you were.

Yes basically something like that. I dont think it is as rare or hermetic as you think though & I am not saying at times I dont look back & wish I had benefited from the madness.......
But I did not
