Oh, good. Another bank gets a bail out. A planet rejoices.

It may be time for Europe to begin its own Occupy Wall St movement.

Bailouts should stop. The banks with their powers to create "money" do not need help. Banking is predatory and always theft.

This isn't likely to be the last bank bailout, unfortunately.

We should rescind the bailouts and TARP funds here in the USA, it's a repeat of the mistakes made in 1929-1930 that dragged the Depression out for so long. Down with Bank of un-America!

Wouldn't it be great if we could all be as irresponsible as these banks? We could gamble away other people's money, and then get paid for doing so when we lose it, out of their tax money. What a deal!
