Well, here comes the "Cyprus" Hit for the Greeks who foolishly listened to their government and left their deposits in the Greek banks.

Any talk of budget cuts?

We should send Boehner and McConnell over there as ambassadors of surrender.

Actually that money was loaned out - all they have is a record of deposit, no actual money. Good luck in getting that.

So the solution to people being concerned about getting their money out of the banks is to have the government confiscate the deposits? Somehow I don’t think that’s going to ameliorate the situation.

A tax on ‘the rich’ that works...

LOL! I can just imagine some layabout OWS type ‘radical’ asking his parents for money after they’ve been skimmed by the government.

NEWS alert: Your money doesn’t belong to you, it belongs to rich bankers and government bureaucrats.

Two days ago on Bloomberg, the side bar crawl said that a bail- in was not being looked at by the Greek banks.

I told my wife that was a sure sign one was coming.

Ok. Then the banksters should face Nuremberg style trials in absentia if necessary. Then, hire bounty hunters.
The only way to stop this nonsense is to hold the international banking organizations and their members personally responsible by jailing them and confiscating their personal assets.
Little Iceland did it.

After the “Cyprus Incident”, I have been waiting for the nasty scenario of a banker or government official being forcibly removed from their comfortable abode, strapped (duct-taped) to a rolling office chair and publicly tortured. Guess the imagery is just too subtle...

USA could raid deposits but they don't have to, printing money has the same effect; your savings are eroded by inflation and the value lost are transferred the to the newly minted cash.
Greece on the other hand can't print euros at will.

Remember, it is not theft if those in Power do the stealing.
