So instead of going to jail they just fork over the stockholders' money? Wow such courage! Oh, the pain! $25 billion out of how much?

Oh the humanity. The banks foreclosed on people they should have foreclosed on. Their guilt? In having Mers unable to track clear title. That’s probably worth 25 billion. But you make yourself sound like a welfare recepient when you suggest that there was some real evil underpinnings here.

Got your hand out?

They must believe that Banksters get those big annual bonuses for good work attendance, in lieu of a gold star...
