            Because we keep paying billions in "loans" which will never be paid back.

              The concept of solving a debt problem with more debt is ridiculous. Everyone in Europe (and Asia and North America) deserves to get burned. Problem of course is the banks are the people running the world and they will get burned worst. Privatize profits and socialize losses - great business if you can get it. Remember when the threats were hurled at Iceland about not taking a bailout? That has turned out great for Iceland as they are one of the strongest European economies right now. No one except the banks will prosper until the old debt is removed from the system but that actually requires someone to take a loss.... which is forbidden in today's mark-to-fantasy accounting practices.

              *end rant*

                Well, don't know if everyone deserves to get burned. There is not much one can do against it. It's really annoying that, at first, the politicians say that the money will come back. Of course we all knew it wouldn't and now we have been guaranteed it won't. Even more annoying is that 'they' think it's good practice to lie and say that the money will come back because they don't want to instabalize markets and the citizins viewed as consumers. Politicians have to stay optimistic because otherwise what they say will negatively influence the economy. So lying has become the moral better choice...

                  The people who made the loans deserve to get burned. If you lend someone money, the interest you receive is the reward for your risk. If they cannot repay the loan, the lender takes back whatever assets they can and if they cannot they lose all they lend.

                  Iceland is what Europe should be modelling.

                  There is going to be unstable markets at some point. The more debt created will only make the market more unstable whenever the stack of cards comes tumbling down. All western countries (Europe, North America) are living beyond their means. The problem is no one wants to address this.

                  There will be no growth and therefore there will be no getting out of the current mess until the bad debt is written off. Sure it is going to hurt, it is going to hurt like hell, but it will also start a true recovery. Decades of debt piling up cannot go on forever. We are approaching the end.

                        But we're doing a lot of piling up at the end. With all the bailing out one has to wonder if banks and other financial institutions will become anymore responsible with their investments. Especially because the Bryan Colangelo's at the top are looking out for their own jobs instead of the long term succes of the company. Short term succes usually is much more 'rewarding'.

                          The financial world is fixed in a two-step process:

                          1) Reintroduce Glass-Steagall in to US banking,
                          2) start making those who approved loans eat their losses and end the bail outs,
                          3) bring back mark-to-market accounting.

                          Tying this in to the Raptors:

                          1) Fire Colangelo,
                          2) #tradeBargnani,
                          3) build around JV.
