Trouble in Banktopia

The financial system is blowing up. Don't listen to the experts; just look at the numbers.

By Mike Whitney

The carnage from Greenspan's low interest rate, "easy money" binge is now visible everywhere. Inflated home and stock values are crashing as the gas continues to escape from the massive equity bubble.

Frank Expects Bailout Agreement By Sunday: "I'm convinced that by Sunday we will have an agreement that people can understand on this bill," predicted Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank, a key Democrat in eight days of up-and-down talks designed to stave off an economic crisis.

Economics Expert: Fiscal Cracks Extend Beyond U.S.: Johnson says the presidential candidates both avoided questions about the bailout in their Friday debate. The U.S. has to look outside itself — "This is a global problem," he says, and it's worrisome that other nations haven't wanted to step up and help find a solution.

ROYAL Bank of Scotland will get 'billions' in US bail-out: The bank's share of the bail-out will enable RBS to offload billions of dollars of questionable assets.
