(60,114 posts)Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the chair of the Eurogroup of euro-zone finance ministers,
made the now famous remark of using Cyprus "as a template" and said one reason he felt that way was because
there was no loud outcry/protest from Cypriots.
He later tried to back out the "template" remark, but none of the denials issued by those in the European Central Bank
(ECB) were very convincing.
Amazing that John Corzine could just walk away after the massive MFGlobal swindle, and not one charge has been filed.
The corruption is so pervasive, at all levels, that I think most people have no idea where to start in protesting.
As for Chimpco, remember that Pelosi squashed any protests by saying "impeachment was off the table."....
And later, when people DID rise up and protest TARP, our Congress simply waited a day or 2 and then voted for it anyhow.
I am amazed at how many folks STILL do their banking ( checking and savings) at the TBTF banks.
