3. Durbin's quote about the banks owning the place (The Senate)

was a gigaton blast of truth and yet it hardly made an ripple and already seems to be forgotten. That is a serious indictment on our media.

[Enthusiast]

8. Well, they also own the M$M.

Sickening.

5. Just when you think it can't get any worse

Shit oh dear.

[Enthusiast]

6. K&R Well done Cenk!

I have the exact same concerns. It is very hard to feel the slightest bit of optimism.

7. iceberg straight ahead

is the next bubble oil or commercial real estate? I disagree with Cenk..the banks are evil

[Enthusiast]

9. Yeah, the evil part.

Historically when powerful interests destroy the lives of their less influential fellow human beings it is the very definition of evil. I agree with you.

10. absolutely

Banks are only required to hold 10% of our deposits. So they lend and invest 90%. What kind of sound economy uses fractional reserve as their program to make phony bets and corrupt lending practices? It's not called predatory lending by accident. So our retirements,pension funds and savings are stakes for them in a high yield poker game...only we don't see any return.
