1. Detach the banks from our treasury's breast.
It is time for the children to learn to share.

2. Let's purge the banks of the scumbags that set all this up.
Prison is too good.

Homelessness is a fine thing for all of them. Food stamps.

3. The Dow Fell Over 300 Points
in response to news from the Royal Banks of Scotland. A political ceremony, however historic, was small news for the markets by comparison.

And yes, if the feds took over a greater proportion of the banks, it would not be all bad.

7. The banks are trying to extort money out of Obama.
He will more likely start a national bank to compete with them and thereby show them a thing or too.

These banks take 26-27% interest on credit card debts, sold loans with hidden clauses setting up usurious interest rates and foreclosure down the road, pay no interest on deposits and can't make ends meet.


If their current management can't manage, they should be fired or at least demoted.

My husband and I would be happy to manage their money. We will make the ends meet in no time.

My husband and I raised a family on next to nothing. We have the kind of expertise they need.
