So this is all how it went down, right?<\/p>\n
The big bad banks were bailed out.\u00a0 It wasn’t for the banks’ sake, it was for the “system” – keeping it afloat – and really for you, the people.\u00a0 Sure, the people still suffer.\u00a0 But the government looks good because it saved the system, right?\u00a0 It wasn’t their intention to just bail out bank execs (wink wink).<\/p>\n
Our knights-in-shining-armor politicians bring the big bad banks to the roundtable.\u00a0 They scold them and suggest that they change their ways.\u00a0 The banks boldly proclaim, laughing, “not gonna happen.”\u00a0 Well, the government tried and looked good doing this, didn’t they?\u00a0 See what we do for you America (wink wink)?<\/p>\n
So the knight takes it one step further.\u00a0 Now the iron fist is brought down.\u00a0 Laws are passed and bank fees are capped.\u00a0 A victory for the people!\u00a0 But alas, the banks simply start charging fees for other things to make up the lost revenue.\u00a0\u00a0 Oh, my, how could this have slipped by (wink wink)?\u00a0 The mighty knight Durbin damns the banks for the\u00a0 fees, oh how he fights for the people (wink wink)!<\/p>\n
So when exactly does the good cop\/bad cop shit end with these two juggernauts?\u00a0 When everyone wakes up to the obvious?\u00a0 I welcome you, America, to the W2C – the Washington\/Wall Street Complex.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
