Z, The banks didn't just give credit cards and subprime mortgages. They pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed them. You mean the banks hired a bunch of thugs, got the poor customers down onto the ground, and said, "We don't care what you say, you're going to sign here"? Yeah, that's how absurd the phrase "predatory lending" is. Oh, that's total BS. Everybody should be saving. I think you missed my point. In pursuing the excessive savers, the so-called "Keynesians" ended up punishing everybody else. But to Paulson, who (blah blah blah blah blah) Hey, I can hate on rich assholes, just like you do. The one I'm focused on right now is Carl Icahn. What a tool. "Activist investor" my ass. Ultimately, though, Carl Icahn has little to do with my own well-being. He can't raise any taxes on me. The government can, all because they want to go after the Carl Icahns and the Paulsons and even the "Tax me more" Buffetts of this nation. Yeah, I'm not buying that excuse. Tenchusatsu
