safari, upside, downsided. downs, ups








For Now, It's a Cheaper Safari
By MICHELLE HIGGINS
After lowering prices amid the recession, high-end safari camps are luring customers with discounted deals as much as 40 percent off.

The Obama administration, says Robert Gibbs, the White House spokesman, believes “that a privately held banking system is the correct way to go.” So do we all. But what we have now isn’t private enterprise, it’s lemon socialism: banks get the upside but taxpayers bear the risks. And it’s perpetuating zombie banks, blocking economic recovery.
What we want is a system in which banks own the downs as well as the ups. And the road to that system runs through nationalization.
