I'm not saying or predicting that we are heading into a depression, OTH, we have some serious problems. When was the last time our government bailed out an investment banking firm. One analyst stated a reason for doing so, was that there was a chance at a run on the banks.
The housing market is in serious trouble. When was the last time our government went to these lengths to fix the housing industry. Doesn't matter if a great % of people were flipping or that a large number bought escalating rates, the bottom line is that with the combination of other factors, there could be major collapses. While the experts are debating if we are in a recession, businesses are suffering, and the consumer is hurting.
When was the last time our country was in this much trouble?

The article talks about using the money as dividends--that is money given to shareholders. It says nothing--NOTHING--about loaning the money out at a higher interest rate.

How do you give money or make profits to your shareholders ?
there is a big difference in borrowing to support the business and borrowing to pay dividends.
