For so many loan holders these big banks have for years had zero concern for their plights while profiteering has run amuck. Huge palaces for them and foreclosures for the rest of us! I say good bye! We as a people need smaller banks that hold our interests in heart and not the global markets. I would tell every citi bank depositor to make a run on the bank now and send them into the abyss. It is damn time all these companies listen to us after all it our money that built them and we have the power to remove that money in no confidence and allow that institution to belly up. By the way kiss the big 3 car co. bye bye too. far too long have we been paying way to much for labor jobs. 30.00 per hour to assemble a car? If we as americans do not take our own economy i hand we will lose it all, and I for one will not accept the latter! good luck, don’t let the door hit you.

This is a measure of all prices paid by consumers. House prices are not included in the measure. Deflation = contraction = less employment= more deflation. Surely you can't advocate that? For the record I agree with you on house prices but consumer prices are a whole other story Deflation isn’t just about house prices. This is a measure of all prices paid by consumers.

I am no expert, but there does seem some logic to this argument, but as you say, a coordinated approach is a good idea, given it should minimise the chanes of a run on specific currencies.

But I think getting them first to coordinate a unified approach is an achievement and bigger moves will come. they will eventually make the necessary big moves. better to see them cutting interest rates to drive the whole market than propping up individual failed institutions Yes UK Voter, I agree.

A unified approach makes sense, because it means no single country steals an advantage, but if they could have put this type of deal together, why not 2% or more, it is what the money markets are looking for and without them, helping the banks is a pointless exercise!
