Interesting article -- I wondered when it would get to this stage.   Was watching one of the movies about John Dillinger and I finally understood why people on the street would cheer whenever he shot up a bank.  He was like Robin Hood to them -- this was in the Great Depression when people were losing their homes right and left, and the banks were scooping them up like a kid in a candy store.  Sounds familiar, doesn't it?   The banks can't do anything with all those houses -- the market is dead.  But the more they take, the more bonuses they pay themselves.  And if the bank itself goes under...   bigger bonus!
