The banking industry is probably the most tightly controled industry in the United States. And, the government still can't keep 'em out of trouble. They've been practicing for decades /centuries. Dump the boozo regulators (racketeers). Back to free banking. Yeaaaaa metal banking. And fire the Fed. They have trouble organizing a dozen of donuts let alone an economy. All they do is screw up prices. Bob -- http://www.constructiongigs.com/ Use gold as money. It's easy.
