Banker Brigade

Instead of deploying tens of thousands of soldiers to defend American values across the globe, wouldn’t it make more sense to unleash the most terrifying force we have at our disposal? I am referring to the lords of high finance. Yes, boot camp will now consist of intense training in subjects ranging from packaging, handling and spreading dangerous loans to the creation and delivery of stealthy credit default swaps. We can harness our natural strengths right now! Creating and peddling deadly debt instruments can destabilize the financial institutions in the many evil nations out there who are bent on destroying the American way of life. Wait! I think we’ve been at war with the entire world for at least five years!!

While at it, I found some other amusing comments on the mortgage bailout. For other cracks, take a look here, here and here.
