I've tried both firefox and IE and can't get a preview, is there another site to goto that would allow printing? Thank you for your time, Jack Hello,

The bailout actions and the working as an extension of the Treasury will prove to be the undoing of their independent status. They moved out of the realm of monetary action and waded into the swamp of fiscal action up to their hips. They've earned what is coming to them. You are right about the imbalanced system breaking at some point. They only question is where and when. The politicians continue to delude themselves they can keep the plates spinning if enough leverage is put into the system. At the end of the day, you can't outrun the math of the situation, but they won't admit that and would rather that it happen on someone else's watch if they can just heave it down the road far enough.
