]]> Comment on Going Co-op! by David Morgan http://www.populareconomics.org/2013/04/going-co-op/#comment-5752 David Morgan Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:40:51 +0000 http://www.populareconomics.org/?p=8704#comment-5752 Thank you for this article, I wrote a piece recently for Truthout that was on the same topic (http://bit.ly/142US1U) and I wish I’d had the info about Just Crust before we published it! It was news to me about the SBA, as well. As a co-owner of a worker co-op in the Valley (and a VAWC member) the number of local conversions recently is very exciting. We’ll be sharing this article on social media today, thanks again!

]]> Comment on Will the CFPB save us from the student loan crisis? by PJKar http://www.populareconomics.org/2013/03/will-the-cfpb-save-us-from-the-student-loan-crisis/#comment-5658 PJKar Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:52:31 +0000 http://www.populareconomics.org/?p=8667#comment-5658 Excellent article Anastasia! Its great to see CEP giving a problem of this magnitude the space it deserves. It is hardly on the MSM radar.

One point in all this that needs more discussion I believe is what can present and future students look forward to once this bubble is popped and I think we can safely assume it will based on past experience with our bubble economy. Using the housing sector example I think one consequence will be it will be very difficult to get a student loan. There would seem to be a wide range of negative consequences to individuals and to our society once the bubble pops.

I would be very interested to hear your thoughts (or any other readers too) on these possibilities .

]]> Comment on A Fiscal Cliff with a Financial Trampoline by Sara Dustin http://www.populareconomics.org/2012/11/a-fiscal-cliff-with-a-financial-trampoline/#comment-5522 Sara Dustin Tue, 11 Dec 2012 13:26:15 +0000 http://www.populareconomics.org/?p=8097#comment-5522 Thank you Gerald and Bob for reminding us of the historic options for dealing with a disfunctional banking industry suggesting additional ones, and for helping to put all of this on the table. I will circulate these ideas to colleagues in the activist community here in N.H.

In the mean time, has anyone considered a push to make banks into public utilities? The consequence of the industry’s conduct for the well being of the polity are certainly as powerful as that of the industries that produce electric power and are carefully subjected to public control.
