let's play hangman

so we gave the banks a trillion bucks out of our own - i mean, out of china's - pocket (so far), which we have to pay back by giving up all of our medical care, retirement benefits, and wage increases for the next few decades or so. which is bad, right, but they say it's what we need to do to get the economy moving again, so we bent over. that's one.

then, of course, the banks refused to tell us what they were doing with our - i mean china's - money. because they knew what to do with it, and that was all they decided that we needed to know. and when it turned out that they used it to give themselves bonuses, we bent over a little further and took the fist.

now, of course, they're raising interest rates and fees. you know - in case we have any money left at all that they've somehow missed.

and they still say class warfare like it's a bad thing.
