American Arrogance - Large And Small
(2009-09-05 at 15:15:24 )

So there I am standing in the line at the bank this morning just before
noon and this guy comes in and forms a new line just for himself where
he is going to be the next person to be waited on.

One of the male tellers informed him to get in the line with the rest of
us; where he would have to wait his proper turn. The guy turned and then
muttered " monkey ass " under his breath.

When I got up to the counter I could not contain my laughter any longer!
I told the male teller that he had made my day by telling the Arrogant
American Asshole to get in line where he would have to wait his turn.

As it happened the Aggogant American had brought a motor vehicle into
Manhattan on a Saturday without bringing any quarters for the parking
meters of Mayor Magnificent Michael R. Bloomberg.

And then he wants $20.00 worth of quarters that he did not get because he
did not have any accounts at that bank!! I Am Still Laughing!!

Speaking of banks here is what they have been doing lately; besides the
outright bilking of their very own customers as much as possible through
nit picking fees, charges, and overcharges!!

These big banks, such as Citigroup, can now borrow money short term from
the United States Federal Reserve at almost no cost whatsoever.

These big banks then turn around and buy up United States Government
Bonds that pay 3.5% in Interest. So let us say that a bank borrows One
Trillion Dollars from the Federal Reserve that it pays 0.2% Interest on.

If they buy One Trillion Dollars in Government Bonds the bank can pocket
the 3.3% of Interest which is $33 Billion Dollars a year.

What that boils down to is this: The Federal Reserve prints up the One
Trillion Dollars that it loans to this big bank which in turn loans the
One Trillion Dollars to the United States Taxpayers ( government ) at a
3.5% Interest Rate.

So we taxpaying chumps just poured $33 Billion Dollars of Bonus Money
into the pockets of these Wall Street Bankers for absolutely nothing!!

And of course there are the real swift dealers at Goldman Sachs who have
used their Bailout Money to speculate in commodities such as oil.

If oil is going up gas consumers pay higher prices at the pump to cover
Goldman Sachs Profits. If Goldman loses money on their speculations the
United States Treasury would be there to make up the losses.

Either way the American Taxpayer is Footing The Bill!! That Is Just Fine
And Dandy For The American Bankers And Their Huge Bonus Checks!!

The Wall Street Bankers Have Their Elected Government Whores To Thank For
This System; No Wonder They Consider Us All To Be Spineless Idiots!!

Congressman Ron Paul Is Right To Demand That The FED Be Audited And
Eventually Ended. The American People Are Being Robbed Blind!!
