let the banks be banks.


Mr. Obama, rebuild this wall.

That's where our real threat lies, mega banks and wall st, and all the corrupt speculation and other assorted scams that go with it. To bad we're to busy chasing the nomadic goat herder's to notice.

The thought that the House is already trying to repeal the tepid regulation of Dodd-Frank is staggering to the mind. These people do not have the least understanding of political economy and/or simply do not give a shit about ushering systemic crises.

Speculation has and always will be a part of capitalism, my main problem with it is that the gubmints of the world bails out rather than let moronic speculators die.
