- The Greatest Theft of All Time:
- Matt Yglesias: Wells Fargo Posts Record Profit (thinkprogress) but not exactly what you would describe as 'high quality earnings.' "It’s just to observe that the profits are less a sign of recovery than they are a sign of how much [government] policy activism we’re witnessing." -- It is also suspected by other observers that Citigroup's unexpected profit (that kicked off this month-long stock market rally) was possible only because AIG had funneled money to Citigroup from the TARP funds. So my question is: how much of WFC's record profits are sham in order to keep the rally going? After all, a rallying market at this time presents the impression that Obama's fixes for the economy are good and working. Big plus for Barack and his gang.
