		<description>Is this a lot different than the US Social Security trust funds being used to purchase US Government debt and then calling the bonds &quot;assets&quot;?</description>

		<description>Another good column by James Saft.

At the risk of appearing like a wild-eyed conspiracy theorist mumbling &quot;Bilderbergers,&quot; it does seem like a coup has taken place in the USA and the European Union.  Nowhere in the bailout zone did we hear the sound of haircuts, though Angela Merkel hopefully has firmly grasped the clippers.  Nowhere in the bailout zone did we hear that we could nationalize the banks, quickly reorganize them, and spit them out much smaller.  Oh no, we just gave them billions of dollars with no conditions attached, leading to predictable bonuses and whining that they deserve obscene salaries for incompetence.  Now we see the second act that Saft described, where the banksters raid pension funds to continue their quest for the holy grail -- our grail.

I honestly think there is only one course of action left to the &quot;little people&quot;: a return to the heady days of Marie Antoinette and other characters whose intelligence and integrity were much improved by a skillful application of a heavy, sharpened blade.
