Will the bernank be willing to face the gallows by trying to bail his bankster buds out a second time?

At this stage, me thinks it's a toss-up as to whether the whole crime sydicate is coming to the realization that the game has gone on as far as it can. In udder words, there is going to be a massive throwing of bodies into the path of the bus.

Or, they will try to circle the wagons in a vain attempt to dodge the arrows.

Either way, our European neighbors will be setting the table and be waiting for America to WTFU.
YMMV

I also wonder how much longer the smoke and mirrors will go on.

Since multiple layoffs, etc., I have no stake left but I'm hoping this time it will at least be the end of monopolies again and re-installing actual oversight and regulations; for my kids sake.
