Stock Tip: Buy Guillotine Manufacturing Stock

This is why:

The bank bonus season, that annual rite of big money and bigger egos, begins in earnest this week, and it looks as if it will be one of the largest and most controversial blowouts the industry has ever seen.

The fact that those jerkoffs even have jobs at the present time is not due to their business acumen. It is solely due to the fact that our government stepped in and saved their Armani-clad, limosine-riding, Courvoisier-sipping asses. We bailed them out from their foolishness. And what did they do? They haven't done squat for small businesses. Credit is still more or less frozen. They've jacked up the interest rates on credit cards well into the usurious range and added tons of fees, all in order to extract every possible cent from the American consumers. Their programs to help people with distressed mortgages are jokes.

Worst of all, they have been fighting all of the reforms that are meant to prevent the bankers and Wall Street from once again creating financial bubbles out of nothing but churning sales. "We've learned our lesson," they wail. "We never ever would do that again," they cry. "Trust us, we've reformed," they plead.

Bullshit. Nothing has changed and with the Federal government, both this administration and the previous two, riddled with moles from Wall Street, nothing will change. Not until they build another financial house of cards and it comes crashing down one too many times. Then change will either come from inside a Federal government as it did in 1933 (only this time, it will require the purging of Goldman Sachs alumni traitors), or it will come from outside he government, as it did in France over two hundred years ago.

These greedy bastards need to be regulated. The deregulation of the savings and loan industry led to massive failures, requiring huge Federal expenditures (for the time). But the politicians didn't learn, they deregulated the banks and the financial sector and the greedy fuckers did it once more. They will never learn, they need to be regulated and, at times, prosecuted and sent to prison.

But as for now, they are flooding Capitol Hill with waves of lucre-carrying lobbyists. There will be no change and in a short span of years, we will be back here once more.
