We cant allow the Chinese to take over Morgan Stanley

CNBC is saying that China's CITIC is in talks to possibly acquire Morgan Stanley. I just cant see us letting Morgan Stanley with 45000 plus employees to be sold to China.

Are we out of our minds? What the hell are we doing?

The feds have to stop the fucking short selling.

1. US is encouraging it.

'The Federal Reserve has been active in encouraging the Chinese to invest in U.S. financial institutions and has even made it clear that it would look favorably upon a Chinese acquisition of a U.S.-based financial institution, sources said.'

5. Um, where do you think that we got the money to bail out Bear Stearns and AIG?

Even if the Fed bails them out, the Chinese still own them (and us in the process).

6. Anyone know Chinese?

Is there some hilarious translation for Morgan Stanley? Like "stuck pig bleeds on floor"?

9. Hello is pronounced Nee How in Mandarin.

There is no language called Chinese. There is Mandarin, Cantonese and several hundred more.

11. alright!

....now we're getting somewhere....the Communist Chinese have plenty of dollars....maybe they'd like to buy a number of fine capitalist institutions at bargain-basement prices?

....better than using our tax-dollars or running up debt for future generations....
