Are Big Banks Too Big to Fail?

Beware

A Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware the Dark Side. Anger, fear, and aggression; the Dark Side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight.

Mr Bernanke said today: “With the economy likely to be weak for several quarters and with some risk of a protracted slowdown, consideration of a fiscal package by Congress at this juncture seems appropriate.” He added: "If the Congress proceeds with a fiscal package, it should consider including measures to help improve access to credit by consumers, home buyers, businesses and other borrowers. Such actions might be particularly effective at promoting economic growth and job creation...”

"Access to Credit!!!" Unba-fucking-real. These guys have absolutely no shame, not a moral or ethical cell in their malignant souls.


Give the stupid, ignorant mass of poor slobs money so that they'll feel OK about getting into MORE debt; give 'em that false sense of wealth---like the one "W" gave 'em with the $600 'stimulus' checks---so that they feel OK about getting 3 new credit cards and running up $7500 in debt and paying the minimum payment each month of $50 while NEVER, EVER getting close to getting out of debt. Debt servitude, for all of your days. Pay the man and make him rich.

Look folks, this has gotta stop. We cannot exist forever as the meat for the financial industries sausage grinder. There are many ways to get out from under this pile of shit, but one very straightforward method comes to mind first: stop playing.

Stop borrowing money from corrupt banks and stop paying money to a corrupt government. Don't pay your taxes, don't take out new mortgages, don't patronize the institutions that prop up this system. Live smaller---live in and for your community. Grow vegetables, trade with neighbors, share resources. Don't buy cool things anymore---you don't need them. One small TV is just fine...in fact, my wife and kids and I have chosen not to have TV in our home. We listen to the radio and occasionally watch M*A*S*H on an old DVD player. Don't buy into the need to buy into happiness. Ride a bike to work.

The Empire cannot make us go to THE DARK SIDE. We have a choice. The Dark Side exists on greed and excess and hubris. If we can learn how to live small, the forces of Evil will fall. They can only exist if we subsidize their existence. I say, no more!
