Against their own best interests.

I was listening to All things Considered on the way home. There was a story about the scum Trump is trying to make sectary of treasury. Turns out during the economic crisis him and other scum bought a bank that went into bankruptcy and got the FDIC to pay them millions on top and renamed the bank OneWest. They made their money by foreclosing on working Americans homes. They made enough to sell it over a billion in profit. They interviewed an elderly couple who had lived in their home over 50 yrs. had taken out a home equity loan which they were having trouble paying. They qualified for the home restructure loans from the government but One West would not do it. They would call but it would be a different person each time. They finally got Hold of a bank vice president who told them he was going to put an extension so they could work it out. The house was foreclosed on and sold. Then the couple said they voted for Trump. What kind of stupid is that. The republicans caused the melt down and then put them back in to make sure they kill us off the rest of the way.

Expect more crisis in the banking sector.

USA 14 and counting.

Which country is deregulated I wonder?
