This week, Bernanke’s Fed, for the first time in its history, loaned a selected coterie of banks one-fifth of a trillion dollars to guaranteethese banks’ mortgage-backed junk bonds. The deluge of public loot was an eye-popping windfall to the very banking predators who have brought two million families to the brink of foreclosure.

ROTFLMMFAO.

Business as usual in the great U S of A...?
There is always a story behind the story and for me its something to keep in mind.

"It's a shame Palast isn't read more widely."

Sorry, no conspiracy theories allowed around here.

And there's a lone gunman on the grassy knoll in Area 51 to back me up on this. :-)
