They rather thin out the pockets of all citizens then let the banks, the foundation stones of the capitalist economy, sink to the abyss.

Look at the big banks in the US. They appear to be making a lot of money now, only that it is at the expense of the American taxpayers. <br /><br />First they write down the bad toxic assets, forced the government to pump money in to prop them up, who (the Govt) in turn sell those bad toxic assets cheaply to Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17473688.post-57651075850491650292009-06-05T09:55:26.885+08:002009-06-05T09:55:26.885+08:00The Billions lost will be recouped in no time.

Come 2010, the world with its ever expanding urbanite population hankering for more of the good things in life will be the catalyst for a strong commodities rebound including fossil fuel. <br /><br />Trust me, buy commodities.
