Bond Yield: Down to 3.40% @ 8:26 am

Another reminder of who saved the butts of the banking industry:

“There is no financial institution that exists today that is not the direct or indirect beneficiary of trillions of dollars of taxpayer support for the financial system.”

Another reminder to keep a watchful eye on the banking industry, and to keep your representatives in Congress on speed-dial:

“I do not understand how it is that financial institutions could think that they could take taxpayer money and then turn around and act like it’s business as usual. I don’t understand how they can’t see that the world has changed in a fundamental way, that it is not business as usual when you take taxpayer dollars.

Another reminder to support food banks and shelters as much as you can:

“No one could have told me that in a million years: I’d wake up in a homeless shelter,” she said. “I had a house for homeless people. Now, I’m homeless.”
