If you thought Madoff was big it aint shit. Posted already Blacks interview how banks are defrauding tax payer with help of Obama and his den of MBA thieves. The current cover up of buying up toxic debt so banks can show 'profits' and the market sucks people back in just may be the Mother of All Madoffs according to Soros and others.
Then we have to ask the question how can we, the taxpayers, pay off these bankers bonuses and non-bailouts as jobs are being cut by the thousands everyday around the nation? As businesses and municipalities go bankrupt leading to less tax payers still? As U6 unemployment reaches 20%? As the bankers we bailed out, as if saying FU dipshits for our mistakes, are raising our interest rates and refusing to lend? Not very stimulative if you ask me?

Billionaire investor George Soros has warned that bailing out banks could turn them into ?zombies? that suck the lifeblood of the American economy, which he predicted is in for a ?lasting slowdown?. He also cautioned that the recent rise in global stockmarkets is a ?bear market rally because we have not yet turned the economy around?.
Soros stressed that restoring health to the ?basically insolvent? banking system and the housing market is key to any recovery. The public-private investment funds introduced to rid US banks of bad debts will work but won?t be enough to recapitalise the banks so they can start lending again, he said.
?What we have created now is a situation where the banks will be able to earn their way out of a hole but by doing that, they are going to weigh on the economy,? Soros said. ?Instead of stimulating the economy, they will draw the lifeblood, so to speak, of profits away from the real economy in order to keep themselves alive.?
Analysts agreed that the financial system remains a problem and thought recent optimism that the worst may be over was overdone. ?The market?s stance on banks had been too optimistic recently,? said Nagayuki Yamagishi, a strategist at Mitsubishi Securities in Tokyo. ?Some large US banks have already passed stress tests, but others haven?t, and given that results are coming up soon, this simply reignited investor uncertainty.?
