The result is banking will become less cost efficient.
There will be fewer banks. The remaining banks get bigger.
Cost of loans goes up, consumer screwed. Fewer jobs.
The Feds are busy killing freedom, killing jobs, killing people.
The People are busy taking names, collecting guns and ammunition.
Its not hard to predict whats next.
An excellent idea. Nov can’t come soon enough.
You may be right November will give the answer to that.
