In the estimation of the majority of the appropriations committee of the parliament about the Icesave-bill which was distributed this evening, says that the moral issues have been very visible in the discussions of the committee. The aggressive question is laying on the entire Icesave dispute if men should pay the debts they have not participated in creating.
"The question will even be even more aggressive when it is clear that the entrepreneurs can, in the cover of the free economic system, pocket the profit of their operations but leave the debts with the public if things tur sour. Each risk is its own, says the publich which quotes the goor and common manners in the trades of their forefathers where the handshake had a meaning and the words were good," says in the committee report. |
