BTW- maybe we do need to nationalize banks- or have you ignored the news over the last few days regarding LIBOR manipulation and HSBC laundering money for terrorist groups? Or are you going to claim that over regulation caused LIBOR manipulation and HSBC to launder terrorist money?

Executives will sell this country if it means they'll make a buck. They've already done it by selling as many jobs as they can to China.

If you can't read up on history to know why nationalizing all banks would be a bad idea then you're beyond help.

They also didn't "sell" jobs to China. Chinese workers and factories were willing to do low-skilled work cheaper. Indian doctors offer procedures for less, and Indian companies are starting to offer professional services (law, engineering, etc) as well. So it's not selling out America to use other vendors, we've only got ourselves to blame for protectionist policies that breed a lack of competitiveness. Germany went a different route and have none of our problems. Don't blame companies, blame yourself, the voter, responsible for electing politicians that coddle you with words while avoiding taking the hard choices in a cold world. (Much easier to blame others though, I know)
