And they have taken full advantage of it. Now, after zero oversight and irresponsible behavior, instead of being held accountable, the slate is wiped clean and OUR money has to stop the bleeding.

Fucking mess. And you know what? They all knew it was coming. America's middle class get punched in the gut again and again and again....

2. These banking agencies were suppose to follow the law.
They were suppose to show an accountability office their financial papers to prove what they were doing, and how it was to work, so that the money is accountable. Just like we have to do for our income tax. But they are not following the law.

6. This is what happens when corporations get too big.
Corporations are people. They work: when they're regulated and not allowed to monopolize the marketplace.

Why is antitrust not being discussed? That is the root of the problem. Bank of America now has more assets than entire countries.
