I am just a dumb, uneducated person, I had only one class of economics, so I don't understand the whole thing.
If I would lend money to the shady guy behind the central train station, who asks me and promises to pay me back with interest, it would be my own risk and my own stupidity.
Why are the banks treated different? Are they so important to our economic system, like Merkel & the rest of the bunch wants to tell us? In her last interview, she somehow acted like our financial system is god-given.
What kind of system do we have anyway? Free-market, when the banks called to be untied from the restrains the government put on them? Or do we have a solidarity principle, when we have to help those poor buggers who wagered with their money?
