Quote from Hydroblunt:
Do you actually try to be narrow-minded or is it a genetic defect?
The whole jobs situation is only one of the issues being brought up and it's not even the main one. I'm more interested in the fact that it is about time some protesting is done for the continuous bailouts for the banks and top corporates at the expense of the masses. Additionally, there is pretty clear dissent about big business controlling politics and hence government finances.
What? Everybody knows the banks are profitable now! Ok, so they aren't marking-to-market and their books are a bit like Enron - but that's no reason not to believe them....
A bartender asked me "If the Fed is giving big banks low-cost funds, and the banks have the most powerful lobby in D.C., how is the Fed not contributing to the buying of the political system?"
I said - don't know, but I'll have another beer.
