I can't help but wonder at what point (if at all) the UK and US governments realised that they no longer had any real control over their economies.
It seems amazing to me that any government would think it a good idea to hand over control of something quite so important to people who are only interested in one thing, the bottom line, how much they can make for them selves and their clients (probably in that order too).
And now we all need help, but who else is there to ask for it?
Ah, of course, increase taxation to cover massive bailout plans that so far have done nothing other than to underline the fact that they can do nothing. Oh, and show to the stock markets around the world that they are panicking. Which of course, only induces further panic.
Would someone please stop the planet, I want to get off now.
