5. Not likely

[gcomeau]

4. Happy and everything...

...but "suck it Krugman" is rather premature. Those have to hold before they can be taken to mean anything other than that a bunch of traders thought they could make some money off the stocks in the short term by taking advantage of a positive news release.

6. Oh yay! Wall street criminals are making money.

Call me for the celebration when actual human beings can get a living wage job and everyone has non-corporate health care.

9. Crazy Funny!

The banks have been blamed for so long.

The banks are good.

So, what is really wrong with our economy?

[Sebastian Doyle]

13. FUCK the banks

FUCK JP Morgan Chase. FUCK Saudi owned Shittibank. FUCK Bank of Sicilia America. FUCK any Wall Street whore speculators, and most of all, FUCK the "Federal Reserve" which is just as "federal" as Federal Express.

Too big to fail? More like too corrupt to be allowed to continue. And until we realize that reality, they will continue to rape and pillage America. :grr:

[PBS Poll-435]

15. Noted

[brentspeak]

16. "The banks are good"

"Good" in what way? Good in keeping people in debt servitude? Good at failing and then managing to receive trillions in taxpayer dollars? You mean that kind of "good"?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

14. New unemployment claims way down.

I know it sucks for the anti-Obama people trying to talk the economy down, but hey...

[benld74]

10. Govt has been givin them $ for how long now?

[PBS Poll-435]

12. :-)

Not so much.

[uponit7771]

17. Fargo jumped their earnings date and came out 2 weeks early, there's no reason for that other than..

...to get their earnings out before the bad news of other banks taking 1st quarter losses...not big losses but losses never the less.

[depakid]

18. Some folks made a TON of money at all of our expense

so it has to be posted as a dig a Krugman.

And people wonder certain sorts of Obama supporters gained a reputaton as cultists.

[brentspeak]

19. Too bad that doesn't do squat for 92% of America.

[acmavm]

20. Well, I would hope. After all that money we gotta give 'em so that they can

lend it back to us with interest.
