I am not sure I have ever said this about a New York Times op-ed. But I agree with this one almost completely. One of my really major problems with the GOP-E is their slavish subservience to Wall Street, where too big to fail also means to too big to jail. Clearly laws are only for little people.

“Slavish subservience to wall street” happens on both sides of the aisle, and don’t think Dems aren’t better at the shakedown than the pubs. Obama didn’t raise 2 billion to run two presidential campaigns from pot-smoking, health-food store employees in Birkenstocks.

These banks didn’t commit the crimes, individuals did. Prosecute them to the full extent of the law and allow civil suits by anyone and everyone against the individuals and the banks.

Just because a bank is successfully shaken down by an ambitious beaurocrat doesn't make it guilty.

Now then, NYT, if you want to go after banks, why don't you go after them to come clean on why they let the Clinton Foundation and the Clintons get away with international money laundering?

What about their gun rights?

So the banks supposedly manipulated currency, according to the GOVERNMENT?

This is pure baloney. No one has more power to manipulate currency than the governments of the world: after all, they print the stuff; they “stimulate” the economies with it, and very few governments in the entire world have acted responsibly.

So they blame the banks!!

This is like Ali Baba being tried by the Forty Thieves.
