| Message | we need the government to step in and nationalize vital industries if they go bankcrupt. What do u think would happen if a major bank would go down, it would take the others with it and cause a major depression in Badara if the government wasnt allowed to act then there wouldnt be a market to begin with. this is just one off many example i could give |

| Message | We believe that banks should not be rewarded for failure, but like every other industry should be rewarded for success and punished for failure. By supporting failed banks we take away the inherent risk involved in every business, and allow banks to do as they please, knowing that success or failure does not matter as the government will bail them out. This bailout is provided by our citizens in the form of tax and it takes money from the productive areas of the economy to the unproductive, but does not give failed banks any initiative to be careful with their lending. |

| Message | i wasnt saying we should bail out all banks who go bankcrupt, just the essential once for our economy, if a big bank failes and goes down it could take all the other banks with it in its fall end criple oure economy for years and could take our beautifull nation with it in theyre fall. for example, in the real world nearly all major Icelandic banks went bankrupt and the value of theyre currency fell with almost a 100% and the Icelandic government has to pay Great Brittain and Holland for the losses theyre citizens made when those banks went down. |

| Message | This would only be a short term correction of the economy, in the long run Badara would be a better place as we wouldn't have these as regular occurrences. Once banks know that they should be responsible for their acts, they will act wisely and not take unnecessary risks. |

| Message | Government intervention in my opinion is almost always a bad thing. Anything Government run usually fails or is in critical need of reform. Who is the government to choose which companies should be saved and which ones shouldn't. |
| Date | 02:17:21, September 29, 2009 CET | From | Liberal Democratic Party of Badara | To | Debating the Government Policy on Industry and Subsidies to Industrial Operations |
| Message | Well, a company that hires, say, 10% of the population would obviously be worth saving. |
