GWR's post of Ed Steer this morning contains the URL to another great piece from Matt Taibbi published in Rolling Stone. This is at least the second revealing study from him, and it should raise more concern and tempers everywhere. The URL to the article is posted below again.

The information in the piece is so revealing and so depressing, at least to me, that I wonder if we'll ever be able to get out from under the thumb of the banksters and politicians. The huge sums of money involved and the techniques and shenanigans used are simply mind boggling.

No doubt the same stuff goes on with the PMs and the stocks, and I just hope we're all within reach of getting out financially comfortable, if that's ever possible, before the whole thing comes apart and we're back in the 1920's, or worse.
