It's only stupid until you realize it's on purpose, then you realize its insidious. First, it's a distraction from the real news, which is the economy continues to tank unabated by the trillions they extorted from all living and future taxpayers last year. Let's blame the bankers, as if the politicians had nothing to do with the boondoggle! Second, it's aimed at destroying the free market from the top down. He's in the process of systematically taking over the banking system, which is what communists do first when they get power. It's an old playbook that always ends in disaster, but that never discourages them from trying again and again and again. - Publius -- "It ought never to be forgotten, that a firm union of this country, under an efficient government, will probably be an increasing object of jealousy to more than one nation of Europe; and that enterprises to subvert it will sometimes originate in the intrigues of foreign powers, and will seldom fail to be patronized and abetted by some of them. Its preservation, therefore ought in no case that can be avoided, to be committed to the guardianship of any but those whose situation will uniformly beget an immediate interest in the faithful and vigilant performance of the trust."
