Well, it's different when everyone's in the same boat. Collectivism is the best, most logical way to address issues that a
substantial portion of the consuming public defines as "important." It's hardly "pure utopianism."
I knew it. Collectivism, eh? Isn't that known by a few other names? What particular view of humanity's nature does the collectivist governments claim?
Blank slate, noble savage, ghost in the shell? Slave? Shall we call each other, comrade? I know it's too late. Sour grapes I guess. I hope I can still afford Vaseline.

What other industries are too big to let fail? GM, Chrysler, Ford? How 'bout them airlines? Hey, how 'bout me? Doggone that Federal Reserve that's gonna inflate the piss out of the currency. What's it come to when the pre-1982 penny is the most intrinsically valuable piece of money in my pocket.

July 23, 2008 IMF article IV consultation with the United States
Public Information Notice: IMF Executive Board Concludes 2008 Article IV Consultation with the United States

These articles discuss the purported International Monetary Fund audit of the United States banking system. Hoo Boy. Wait'll 2010. I wouldn't want to be President when the riots start. But that great collectivist United Nations will offer to help I'm sure. Anyway, here be the articles.
