Out of Control
DAVID MOBERG
inthesetimes.com - The big banks are back, larger than ever, with profits and stock prices soaring and huge bonuses expected-thanks to taxpayers and the federal government.

Jim Hightower, Truthout: "'Repent,' the preacher cried out, startling those who heard him.

His sharp admonition was pointed directly at a particular set of sinners, who undoubtedly had never given any thought to the morality of their actions: the barons of global banking."
