Greek banks reopen but cash limits remain and taxes soar

• Yet this would never happen here... because the leaders here will REALLY make socialism work the RIGHT way!

  • Did you see the stories yesterday about the FED requiring the big banks to hang on to more cash reserves? I am thinking maybe the "First Mattress savings and loan" might not be such a bad idea,

    • I wouldn't keep cash in there, it won't be worth much. Invest in precious metals, especially the ones King Barky is trying to keep out of the hands of the people. (Lead, brass, aircraft aluminum, steel, chrome moly, etc.

      • But it is much easier to sleep on cash, that other stuff would be lumpy... :)

        • I don't care. It may be lumpy, but it will be worth much more, and can also protect you from thieves.

        • Plus, when purchased in the right configuration of lead, steel, brass and other materials, it can get you a 2" grouping at 25 yards. Act now, operators are standing by.

        • Good point... good point...

• The banks are reopening in order to steal the rest of the people's money.

• So basically the banks are open but you still can't take your money out? How is that different than the banks being closed? Somebody help me here.

  • The banks are open but the overlords have determined that you can not have your money because if you get your money you'll do something completely stupid like spend it on food and they need to hold back most of your money to pay for the free shit that the non productive members of society get by not working and having money in the bank that they also can't take out until some other country gives them a big loan and then they will repay the IOU's they left in your safe deposit box when they took your money to hand out to the non productive members of society when he country was broke and waiting for a loan from another country for the third time...There does that make sense for ya?

    • But, everyone in Greece is non productive.

    • Sounds like you pretty much nailed it. So when they get the next loan that they will not be able to repay (and they will get it) then the people with "money" in the bank will immediately take it out and put it in the mattress (Socialism's only safe bank) thereby running the banks out of money...that really is German taxpayers money....which they will never get back.
      Ah now I understand why so many people in America want socialism. No wait! I have now confused myself. What did I just say....who's on first?

    • You sound like Paul Krugman. I see a Nobel Prize and New York Times column in your future.

      • I don't know whether to laugh or cry.....
