There is no question now surely that the banking business is and always was a subsidised protected industry. Basically an arm of government. And that the government and the finance industry can scarcely be told apart. This is an industry with thousands of regulations to protect its cartelization features but whats missing is the few regulations that would be needed to stop these guys from debasing the value of our money, inflating the value of our assets, and armtwisting every bugger into this orgy of debt.
