Notable and Quotable

    No, it didn’t. You can wreck a bank in less than a year.

    Didn’t some of the banks now in trouble came into existence during this low interest cash fiasco just to get some of that low interest cash? If so, then shouldn’t they be liquidated and forced to close? You can lose your shirt in a free market as well as get a lot of financial gain!!
