CNN's bankster cheerleader Erin Burnett: 'We should root for the banks.'


Shot I took at a hotel bar on Wednesday afternoon. Right before this, this chyron read "BANKS ARE GOOD FOR AMERICA."

2. Only if they're regulated to the point that they can't engage in wholesale graft and fraud.
If that cannot be accomplished, then banks are decidedly NOT good for America, period!

8. She roots for banks, all right.
