The banks are borrowing money for .1/2 of 1 % and loaning it out for much more. They are also reporting huge profits. I would guess they have borrowed trillions. The banks are much stronger than before they caused 08. So how long do we let this go on? It would be nice if we loaned the kids money to go to school at 1/2 of 1 percent. Holder said he did not prosecute the banks as he was afraid it would hurt the economy. This cannot continue. Stiglitz and Krugman both want to break up the banks. We cannot give them more power until we bring them under control. And no pub will do that.
