Banks are robbing them? How did I miss out on that? I have a bank account, had it for many years. It is 100% free. No fees at all.
People will not hit the streets dude, it will all be worked out diplomatically, and peacefully. You automatically picture people in the streets with giant signs in protest screaming and fighting and maybe even shot by military officials for doing it. That ain't the United States.

Frivolous loaning is what got the banks in a situation. They loaned money to people for homes, knowing these people could not pay for them. That was not a good practice. A lot of people lost their homes, and with no one paying the mortages and loans on these homes, the banks are hurting.
It is a matter of opinion whether you see that as the bank being wrong for lending the money, or the people buying the homes they couldn't pay for were the wrong ones. Personally I lay blame on both the bank and the people. But again, there will be no violence in the streets like you are expecting. It will all be worked out.
The vast majority of the deaths, around 700 according to one estimate

So killing almost a thousand innocent people is OK??
Sorry mate, I don't think even you voted for that, then again, I don't know you, do I Slayer.
I find it odd that you don't believe anything negative in regards to US.
That simply means you can't handle criticism, just like the Taliban, who used to scream at those who criticized their policy.
