They all tout each other's genius all the while leveraging the public's money. And couldn't we have guessed that Jim Cramer's #1 stock has been Goldman Sachs (GS) for the last 4 years.

Ordinary borrowers have no other option but to meet their financial obligation as best as they can.That they have met their obligations attests to their own financial strength to do so.This only means that there was there was short term crisis. But it is still not clear how the banks made profits.It is probably because govt.debt has no urgent obligation to repay and practically the loans govt.grant of money to the banks.&lt;/p&gt;
