Etats-Unis : panique au sommet de l’Etat. Nationalisation des banques US en catastrophe.

Aux Etats-Unis, c’est la panique la plus totale au sommet de l’Etat. Barack Obama se prépare à nationaliser les banques en catastrophe.

Alan Greenspan, George Soros, Paul Volcker, etc. multiplient les déclarations selon lesquelles la crise sera aussi longue et aussi profonde que la crise de 1929.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said on Tuesday the current global recession will « surely be the longest and deepest » since the 1930s and more government rescue funds are needed to stabilize the U.S. financial system.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Renowned investor George Soros said on Friday the world financial system has effectively disintegrated, adding that there is yet no prospect of a near-term resolution to the crisis.

Soros said the turbulence is actually more severe than during the Great Depression, comparing the current situation to the demise of the Soviet Union.

Soros said the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September marked a turning point in the functioning of the market system.

"We witnessed the collapse of the financial system," Soros said at a Columbia University dinner. "It was placed on life support, and it’s still on life support. There’s no sign that we are anywhere near a bottom."

His comments echoed those made earlier at the same conference by Paul Volcker, a former Federal Reserve chairman who is now a top adviser to President Barack Obama.

Paul Volcker said industrial production around the world was declining even more rapidly than in the United States, which is itself under severe strain.

"I don’t remember any time, maybe even in the Great Depression, when things went down quite so fast, quite so uniformly around the world," Volcker said.
