Counterfeiters get jailed when they are caught. Since fractional reserve banking does the same thing as counterfeiters, only with far less actual work (they create false money out of nothing...like having a virtual money tree), I think they ought to be jailed also...or the fractional reserve banking practices should be ended once and for all by banning fiat currencies and replacing them with real currency...as it once existed, before fiat (paper) currency took over.

Of course, the people who run the system don't care what I think. Heh! ;-) Okay, on with the day here...

Like any other business, some are good and some are bad. Sometimes you lose.

Government regulation has been lacking. Control would prevent overcrowding in the "banker" section of our jails.

Lost my cookie. Hmmm, think I will be an anonymous guest for a while.

I've seen many kinds of men.
Some will rob you with a six-gun
Some with a fountain pen."
W.G.

Probably needs to be revised to substitute computer for fountain pen.

Wonder how much public sympathy this man will get?

Not very much, I suspect!

I would rather see him humiliated in the stocks, plus any assets and pension taken away

Good Soldier Schweik: "....plus any assets and pension taken away.."

...and that goes for ANY and ALL persons in Cabinet posts as well!!
Now, as it is, they get transferred, promoted, book deals, speaking tours...AND hired as regular commentators on 'news shows'!!...and that goes for BOTH parties!

Jail the bankers? I'll second that. By God I'll second that. And while we're at it, how about jailing a few tax evaders and those people who make millions from exploiting the labour of third world sweatshop workers?

Here's a great song by Ry Cooder:

No Bankers Left Behind

My telephone rang one evening my buddy called for me
Said the bankers are all leaving better you come 'round and see
It's a startling revelation they robbed the nation blind
They're all down at the station no banker left behind

No banker no banker no banker could I find
They were all down at the station no banker left behind

I heard about a proposal for a TV game show in which a group of bankers would be exiled to an island and each would be given a wheelbarrow full of money and told to get on with it. The idea for the show was rejected by the TV company, because it was "An affront to human dignity". Now that goes beyond irony, doesn't it?

In response to Arkie I can only say:-

As through this world I've rambled,
As through this world I've roamed,
I've never seen an outlaw
Drive a family from their home.

Seems kind of apt and appropriate at a time when the British government's introduction of the bedroom tax - sorry, removal of the single rooom supplement - has left thousands of people finding they can't pay the rent.

BTW. Does anyone know whether the term "single room supplement" was ever applied to housing benefit, or is it just an example of Tory newspeak?

While we're jailing the bankers, shouldn't we also be jailing the politicians who foisted 'neo-liberal free market economics' on us and supported 'light touch' regulation?

By the way, has anyone heard the story about the bankers and the Lear Jets? Apparently, some bankers were so rich, as a result of their extravagant bonuses, that they were queuing up to buy multi-million pound Lear Jet executive aircraft. The queue was so long that some were offering others higher up the queue up to half-a-million pounds to exchange places with them!
