Let the banks fail. Let the market do what it does best. Namely work. Quit introducing all this bogus stuff into the equation.

On Fridays they announce the banks that failed this past week. It’s reaching critical mass. 95th so far this year:

No, Silly. The FIRST round of bailouts were to repay campaign favors.

NOW, we’re really getting to the meat and potatoes of the matter. BOHICA! (And open your wallet while you’re at it, you taxpaying SERF!) ;)
