The inability to buy things due to low wages is visible in the rear-view mirror.
Inevitable, really.
I was thinking the other day that nowadays, what with layoffs and such, buying a house is a huge leap of faith.

My last two large electronics purchases (a TV and a Gaming system) were shopped at Best Buy and then I bought them online. I never spoke to a person at Best Buy. I just shopped to look at what I was buying and then bought online. I can see why some brock and mortar stores are going away. Same with bookstores. Between Amazon book buying and the electronic pads who needs a bookstore?

I start remembering the first time I bought a book. I was six.

But I have trouble finding time to go. Plus most around me are gone.

millions in the bank swindle of 2008. They certainly would not want to tap into any of that money..
If you've ever banked with Wells Fargo perhaps you might agree that they are not really a bank but a Division of Organized Crime that has the backing of the Federal Government.

That was all paid back with interest.

Wells Fargo used their share to buy Wachovia Bank.
Do the research. The money given to the banks during the so called recession was a bailout and much of that money was never repaid.

You're the one who needs to do the research. They were issued the TARP funds in October of 2008 and it was repaid by December 2009.

They did not use the money to buy Wachovia.

And all insitututions have repaid TARP funds, with the exception of AIG.

about the last paragraph it reads there were negotiated terms for leaving the TARP ,so they repaid it but then didn't repay the taxpayer money for security purposes they didnt not release the terms of the agreement. So the Government made sure they had enough operating capital...By the way do you work for Wells Fargo?
