Constructive gadfly

It's true that no longer should bankers lend with abandon and that too many small businesses have no need to expand and hire. So why doesn't the government reverse the tarp and have these fat cats lend to contractors of infrastructure to speed up the role of investments where it will do the most good? It always rankles me when I see the likes of Coca Cola and McDonalds heralded as great investments as though we really needed them--investors have no imagination, especially investment bankers, except when devious.

LOL!  You are funny.  I dont invest my money to be politically correct (I own Apple stock after all).  I do so to make money.  Period!  As do most intelligent people.  Fools invest for PC reasons.

We don't need money either yet everyone wants it. There are plenty of countries where people survive just fine without it and way back then the US did not have money and yet here we are today.

I'm not advocating stone age thinking--is there something wrong with utilitarian investment?

 Political correction is not the point; national and economic security is.

#1:  You mentioned a couple of big american companies that help on both points, so I fail to see the connection.

#2:  HOw are you doing that with the avatars?
