Right now, you will hear many people talking about the "bailout", and how it is so important for our economy. While i do agree that unless something is done, and done soon massive layoffs will be the reality. But, that is not to say simply throwing money at the situation is the only option.

There are a few options, yet none are really being talked about because the Keynesian's currently control economic power. Here are some alternatives...


1.) Completely cut corporate tax's along with with capital gains tax until LIBOR rates drop without cutting interest rates. This will have two effects. First off it will lower cost to do business, regardless of the sector. Secondly, it will spur investment, and lure true investment whales out of their caves. Instead of just throwing money at the situation (which is a possible solution), we could let the market sort this out itself, all while reforming futures/options trading rules.

2.) Do nothing. In the world of government intervention, the government mysteriously staying out of such a drastic situation would be irresponsible at best. It is partly their fault we are in this mess, and when we factor out the consumer hunger for credit, it was all governments fault. It would result in massive unemployment, most likely cut the stock market in half (S & P). Of course, we would probably come out of it within a year, as foreclosures would be postponed (some counties are backlogged for over 3 months in advance), in favor of mortgage reform for. They could go even further by cutting spending, as well as taxes to improve consumer spending; it would most improve employment.

It should be noted that as i am morally against the bailout, we as a nation are in way over our head, and it makes absolutely no sense to allow people to suffer. Our government should transition itself out of economic intervention, and write some naughty legislation that puts greedy cocksuckers in jail for committing fraud, or using deceptive actions to profit. We really do not need more regulation, only effective legislation that fines, jails, and takes away the license of any individual or company that prey's on consumers.

Summary

This is a chance to invest in a potential ??franchise? that focuses on an underserved market with a ton of room for expansion whose stock remains under the radar of Wall Street because of flawed perceptions about its line of business. At current prices, the stock is very cheap, especially considering the company??s consistent earnings growth over time and distinct competitive advantage. One can definitely view this as an opportunity to invest in a company that 15 or 20 years down the road will be a Wal-Martesque standard in its business throughout the United States.
The Basics

Car-Mart (CRMT) is the only public ($190 million market cap) Buy Here Pay Here used car dealer. As a Buy Here Pay Here used car dealer, it finances the cars it sells, and as the name indicates, buyers will often pay their installments on a weekly, biweekly or monthly schedule in cash at the dealership. They focus on small towns (50,000 individuals or less) and individuals with lower incomes (around 30K). Cars average about $7,500, and Car-Mart makes about $1,100 in pre-tax profit on each car.

Terms of the loans average 26 months, and the average interest rate is about 12%, but often will go as high as 19% outside of Arkansas. In Arkansas, where 60% of their receivables come from and 34 of its stores are, loans are capped at 5% above prime due to usury laws. CRMT has been profitable since it was founded 24 years ago, and has grown from around 40 dealerships five years ago to 80 dealerships currently. It operates in 7 states in the South-Central US- primarily in Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Missouri.
It is con artists like this who create such problems. Another type of scum are the payday loan brokers.
