Bigger Isn't Better
Except for bank behemoth bonanzas For whom is bigger any better? Apparently not us. Failing banking behemoths created quite a fuss. When Bushie and Obama's boys busied themselves bailing, They lost a few, but those they saved are those we're now bewailing. Those too big to fail before they've managed to make bigger. Can anyone who thinks that's good say so without a snigger? Should Ben charge J.P. Morgan Chase a "zero" int'rest rate, Then let them loan to customers at twenty-nine point eight? Should Goldman be allowed to issue tens of billions worth of bonds Insured by the F.D.I.C.'s magic money minting wands? And now with home foreclosures up and folks still losing jobs, Mere "millions" can't describe a bonus. Now they're talking "gobs." Why is there no public option to make bankers toe the line? Or force them to buy back their banks so they risk theirs, not yours and mine?
