Bizarre Quote Of The Day

 

It’s a good thing I’d finished my GrapeNuts by the time I read this one- they’d have been all over my keyboard:

“Banks are becoming the whipping boy for the Treasury’s failed policies,” said Joseph Mason, a Louisiana State University professor in Baton Rouge who previously worked at the Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Really Mr. Mason? Or has the Treasury become the tool of banks and their failed policies?

    We should have not given the banks one dime of taxpayer money. The banks are insolvent and they are crying wolf. I think the markets sent a message to Obama today to let him know who is in charge.
