A Tale of Two Settlements
Issue One is how in both cases, the Too Big To Fail banksters won—and they won big. Again. Insofar as the mortgage settlement goes, they got what amounted to a speeding ticket, while getting a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card on the worst of the robo-signing and illegal foreclosures scandal. And insofar as the Greek situation goes, the banksters have gotten the IMF, the ECB and the EC to essentially put the Greek people’s collective nuts in a vise and squeeze until they scream "?????!" ("Uncle!")
There are two problems with the above. First, the Greek people have not screamed "θείος!" ("Uncle!"). They are even now in the streets making it very clear they will not obey the governments' demands for more sacrifice to please the bankers. And you will recall what a miserable time the Greek people gave the Nazis!
Second, the Greek deal has already fallen apart both because of the above and because of the scandal exploding in everyone's face after France and Germany were exposed as having demanded that Greece spend what little remains of their after-bankers taxes on weapons purchases!
