We have some very financially savvy DU'ers. Do you think these are just more scare tactics? IMO, (not savvy) this is a very real possibility. To have bailed these banks out was a bad decision for the masses, to not have required them to break themselves up was undoubtedly a lack of long term thinking....or not, but definitely a set-up for financial failure.
"We" have "allowed" (as if "we" have any control) these financial institutions to keep their shell games operating...

Fascism is the only proper term that now describes our politics. Unfettered capitalism is a great alternative. Democracy....not even close.

I think what this Ring of Fire video is expounding could very well happen.
Wish all would listen to it.
