In the 70's, they talked a whole lot of farmers into 'Get Big Or Get Out', going into debt buying high priced machinery. When inevitable drought occurs, farmer can't pay off the loan - farm and machinery go to banker.<br /><br />During the 90's, people are convinced to buy a large home and selling off 20 years later making an obscene profit. Only it never occured to them that maybe not everyone can afford a $800,000 house. And even if they could, WHY would they ? Again, banker wins.<br /><br />Banks go bankrupt or threaten they are about to, making sure they get paid and take as much as they can before making the report. High risk ventures made by them got them in their predicament. And they get a bail-out as a reward for being bad at their job. Again - bankers win.<br /><br />You know, if things get unraveled, I'm betting more than a few bankers had better have long fast legs, a lead boot and a fast car if they want to live. Because some people tend to hold a grudge. I'm sure more than a few lawyers and judges likewise may feel the same pressure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-56100089706709177012012-08-21T06:40:44.938-04:002012-08-21T06:40:44.938-04:00Thanks.
