   Retail banks took the FDIC insured money in my checking account,   
   backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. governement,   
   and the near endless supply of cheap inter-bank money   
   and leveraged it 50-to-1 mid quarter, 35-to-1 at the end of the quarter.   
      
   They believed in the Black & Scholes model like it was gospel,   
   creating trillions of dollars of debt that no one owns nor understands;   
   e.g. Mortage-Backed securities.   
      
   Now the government owns AIG, banks and such;   
   even bond holders got burned.   
   They called this “ Capitalism ”, and it failed.
