Listen, when I say that the government is a "super-mafia" this is exactly what I'm talking about:

Paulson sucks. Fisher in Dallas is hip to the bankstas meme though.

What's wrong with your brains that you're more sympathetic to banks than their regulators?

Exactly-- didn't Krugman say that the "leaks" seemed curiously like they were testing what the public would swallow & what it would cry bullshit on?

I kind of understand why the government is doing this. The banks really fucked up and with out some sort of strong arming they would just keep on taking our bailout money and heading to Vegas in brand new jets with new whores with flat stomachs so they snort their pure Columbian white off of. I don't see that the government is thinking clearly or creatively in this case. Just wait and see.
then again i just came from the bar and could be wrong.

ehh...more like super enforcers..this is the same shit you see anytime a piece of the super wealthy act up. The goal here is to keep the system stable and not to rile up the populace to a point that they start engaging in that fancy direct action they've heard so much about.
