Cenk is dead wrong to say that he and Krugman are right and that the banks should've been nationalised... and point to Iceland to show how they're right.... Apart from the fact THAT NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN ICELAND... the banks were put into receivership.... NOT nationalised - MASSIVE difference But, don't let the truth get in the way over your statest propaganda eh Cenk? |

The banks are getting the money for almost 0# interest. If the interest on a loan were divide equally and evenly over the life of a loan, the equity in our investments would build up more quickly and the economy would improve dramatically almost overnight. |
