Banking Execs Get Coal in Their Stockings This Year

Everyone knows that the banks have been raising their credit card rates to the tune of 30% in some cases! Everyone also knows that the taxpayers have been carrying these banks through bailout money and this is how they repay us? I don't know why they don't just release all of the detainees down in Guantanamo Bay and replace them with the executives who decide these policies. I think maybe it's time that some of these decision makers are exposed. I'm not suggesting they be shot like right wing fanatics bent on killing abortion doctors but there must be a way to turn the tide back toward the consumer. Meanwhile the economy continues to sputter back into full throttle but like sugar in the tank banking pricks continue to stall the recovery through their greedy behavior. Here's a list explaining how crappy the economy still is hoping that this eases some of the pain.

HOW BAD IS THE ECONOMY?

1. The economy is so bad... That I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

2. The economy is so bad... I ordered a burger at McDonalds and the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?"

3. The economy is so bad... That CEO's are now playing miniature golf.

4. The economy is so bad... If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them.

5. The economy is so bad... Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.

6. The economy is so bad... McDonald's is selling the 1/4 ouncer.

7. The economy is so bad..... Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names.

8. The economy is so bad... A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico .

9. The economy is so bad... Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.

10. The economy is so bad... Motel Six won't leave the light on for you anymore.

11. The economy is so bad... The Mafia is laying off judges.

12. The economy is so bad... Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.
