Opinàrem sobre l’Obama i la Banca a IB3 Ràdio, al programa Quatre Illes

Ahir vespre vaig tenir l’oportunitat d’opinar sobre les mesures que ha anunciat l’Obama per posar límits al sistema financer americà.

Vos recoman sintonitzar o escoltar per Internet el programa d’ IB3 Ràdio Quatre Illes, dirigit pel gran amic i periodista Santi Capellera. Val la pena escoltar als tertulians parlar sobre temes d’actualitat i de les nostres Illes.

En el seu discurs sobre l’Estat de la Unió parla de introduir un nou impost a la gran banca i limitar el seu tamany per evitar que en un futur torni a veure’s obligat a injectar doblers a un banc “massa gran per caure”. En paraules del president d’ EE.UU.:

“To recover the rest, I have proposed a fee on the biggest banks. I know Wall Street isn’t keen on this idea, but if these firms can afford to hand out big bonuses again, they can afford a modest fee to pay back the taxpayers who rescued them in their time of need”

També ens parla de reformar el sistema financer per evitar nous colapses financers:

“One place to start is serious financial reform. Look, I am not interested in punishing banks, I’m interested in protecting our economy. A strong, healthy financial market makes it possible for businesses to access credit and create new jobs. It channels the savings of families into investments that raise incomes. But that can only happen if we guard against the same recklessness that nearly brought down our entire economy.

We need to make sure consumers and middle-class families have the information they need to make financial decisions. We can’t allow financial institutions, including those that take your deposits, to take risks that threaten the whole economy.“
