To quote the Zoolander character Mugatu, "I feel like I am taking crazy pills."
Goldman Sachs and Bank of America are perhaps the greatest thieves the world has ever seen. They certainly lay claim to that honor after the last few years of unrestrained and unchallenged looting of the American public. In short, they have created a scenario whereby they have access to free money, they are guaranteed never to have to pay when they lose and they have been given a huge green light to rape and pillage their customers in the form of interest rate hikes on those that have balances on their credit cards.
The two most tragic aspects of this affair are the fact that it is being done in such a transparent, "what the fuck are you going to do about it" manner and the fact that this incredible power they now wield was so cheaply purchased. A few tens of millions spread out amongst our elected representatives generates BILLIONS and BILLIONS and BILLIONS of ill-gotten gains that they call "profits".
