Looking at the history of debt I see a general debt amnesty in the near future with the game starting over with a single world currency.

No it is you left handed loons who never made a peep. We the evil republicans had been warning you loons for a long time but were just shouted down by the rabid left. Now that the housing market collapses and the bailouts fired off you jump on your high horse and hit your idiotic left wing disinformation sites to find out what happened then come in howling.

It took Bloomberg 3 years to get the information and the banks actually made $13 Billion in the end due to the low cost loans from the federal reserve, why hasn't this story recived greater attention.

These are the same banks that are now arguing for less restrictions and people don't understand why people are protesting??
