    Excellent, this need to get the full light-of-day treatment. It's high time the heads of bank execs started rolling, and the uproar might prevent the regulatory rollbacks the industry is currently bribing our congresscritters for.

    In 100 years, this will be the new gilded age, only with bankers taking the role that heavy industry played.

    Any takers?

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I'll bite.

    Unlike Twains' Gilded Age where cheap money saw enormous expansion of industry, agriculture and infrastructure (raising all boats), this gilded age is all about cheap money chasing paper returns essentially resulting in asset inflation. The beauty of Twains' take on things is it is just as relevant today as when published. The actors change but the mechanism of gov't/industry and "wealth creation" is much the same.

    The EU is a Papist plot to spread peace and joy across the continent.
