This clip is a must see. Fairness and Accuracy In Media has now responded to Erin Burnett.
Barry is right. It doesn't matter which party runs the show -- the real power on Capitol Hill is entrenched within the Military-Industrial Party, the Agriculture Party, the Banking Party, the Big-Energy Party, and Big Pharma & Insurance.
They win. You lose. No matter who is in office.
Bank of America was especially persistent, submitting 11 separate exit proposals to the Federal Reserve Board in less than a month. And now, less than 2 years later, BofA's stock is at $7, Citigroup is $2.70 (adjusted for perception-boosting reverse 1:10 split) and both will need billions more in taxpayer funds to survive.

The quote in the headline for this story is the lead from Ratigan's newest op-ed published yesterday and printed inside.
I'll give Reed some credit; his honesty in the face of the devastation he helped create is preferable to Lloyd 'just call me Jesus' Blankfein's ridiculous traipse through the maze of public scrutiny on the heels of the $13 billion AIG stealth bailout, and the decision to soon pay out $20 billion in bonuses at the end of Goldman's fiscal in November.

Dexia is one of Europe's most troubled banks. The first domino is falling.
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Shares of French-Belgian bank Dexia were halted pending a news release, according to NYSE Euronext. Shares in Brussels fell more than 17% before they were halted. Earlier, Dexia said it has entered into negotiations with a group of investors to sell off its Luxembourg unit. Before shares were halted, Bloomberg News reported that Dexia planned to break itself up to protect its Belgian depositors and its municipal-lending business in France. The Wall Street Journal cited local news reports that the Belgian government was moving to nationalize the bank's domestic unit.

We've discussed this effort from Kucinich in the past:
Watch this clip all the way through. It doesn't make sense. For example, Kucinich makes a reference to a "permanent supply of money, that will not be inflationary." That is complete and utter nonsense. This is the core of the problem if Congress gets rid of the Fed.
The corporate media has been slow to cover the Wall Street protests, though NBC has been giving a few minutes nightly with Brian Williams. Today, for the first time, CBS News picked up coverage, and the report was pretty solid.
