Citigroup, prime mover behind Wall Street’s master conduit scheme, may be facing trouble, and big declines in earnings, but it’s still lending. The bank has just leoaned about $500m to a structured investment vehicle run by IKB, the German bank that was bailed out in July, it emerged on Monday. Citi has taken a reserve of almost $100m against the loan.
The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own.
