More public debt! First money spent on nationalised banks. What next? British Airways? It's all piling more and more debt on the future. I suspect that the future won't pay up.

Alistair Darling is preparing to plough billions more of taxpayers’ money into 
Royal Bank of Scotland to take the government stake in the bank from 70% to 
as high as 84%.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/banking_and_finance/article6898097.ece"><P>
A Treasury announcement this week will confirm RBS is signing up to a 
controversial deal to pump £270 billion of problematic loans into a 
state-backed insurance scheme.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/banking_and_finance/article6898097.ece"><P>
As part of the deal, the government will pour up to £19 billion of additional 
capital into RBS by taking up an issue of “B” shares. The subsequent 
increase in the taxpayers’ stake will leave the bank virtually nationalised, 
with a small portion of shares left in the hands of private investors.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/banking_and_finance/article6898097.ece"><P>
The scale of the state aid at RBS has also prompted a savage response from 
Brussels, which is imposing penalties on all European banks bailed out 
during the financial crisis.
