Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13926736 wow Few will listen, Of the few who listen, fewer still will understand, Understanding does not mean believe, Of the handful who believe, most may not know what to do, Those who even know, how many will actually do ?

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13926736 wow more info: "I just listened to the speech live and while this paraphrase is not an exact quote it cuts through the Bernanke blather to the real substance of what was said. For those who didn’t hear it themselves the reporter asks if it would be possible do they have the power could they or would they tax deposits and Bernanke nervously rambles a response about how they are a really tiny country we are big so it would be “extremely unlikely” in the united states plus the fdic is proud of never losing a dime and the american response to the crisis was to expand deposit insurance blah blah blah. The takeaway here is that his statement confirms that yes we have the power, we could, and we would potentially tax bank deposits if deemed necessary. Kind of like the Obama administration’s tacit admission that they believe they have the power to kill anyone in the United States but it is “unlikely” they would ever do that so don’t worry.

They made a mess with their banks, they should use their assets to clean up. Expropriation from bank accounts should not even have been proposed. I don't agree. They should never sell their natural resources to other countries. Then they would have nothing left of value and they are totally in the hands of Russia. |

[link to www.cyprusexpat.co.uk] IOW, the tax will be 100% rather than 9.9% or 6.75%. The signal this sends to Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal will be for some depositors to start puling their money out. Banks only keep a very small percentage of their deposits on hand. Let's say 5% or 10%. IOW, if depositors ask for 15% to 20%, the banks don't have it! The next week or two will tell us a lot. |

Most Germans disapprove of what is happening and would gladly have the DM back. They don´t want to dominate other countries, nor pay off their debts, nor print money. That, by the way, was the agreement each country accepted when they voluntarily joined the euro. |
