Mohammad has the last laugh. Having 72 virgins is hell.

Repubs and Dems my ass! It's the BANKSTERS who won't let them fail. The pols just follow orders.

It takes real talent to fail to make a profit as a commercial bank. Think about it for a moment. What is a bank's "raw material"? Money! For which it charges its suppliers to keep. And what's a bank's "product"? Money! For which it charges its customers. If you can't make a profit while charging both your suppliers AND your customers you need to be in another business. I once mentioned these observations to a friend who actually works in a bank and he agreed with me. His comeback was, "And yet they manage to do it."
