yes, Kristina, why?

Another biggy is that at least three of the banks now in line for big fines over their banking practices announced today that they are farming out 1.5 billion dollars worth of business to India in account processing. There goes another ripple through the economy. All those jobs are now off shore. And I think I know why. The regulators wouldn't play footsie with the three largest banks in the nation. Come on, the day after it's announced that they are facing huge fines? After the tax payers bailed them out. I'm not naming names, you just have to read the paper to know who they are.

And they just keep laughing and laughing as they do. Goodbye middle class below the 80K a year mark.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.
