Trust Your Retirement To The Sopranos

On Monday, Peter Brimelow, in his column on MarketWatch stated "J.P. Morgan Chase managed to saddle Jefferson County, Ala. (containing the city of Birmingham) with more than $5 billion debt for a sewage system originally supposed to cost $250 million, bringing it to the brink of bankruptcy. There have already been more than 20 local convictions for corruption, plus an SEC fine for J.P. Morgan."

He goes on to say that "anyone dealing with Wall Street is in effect putting themselves in the hands of the Sopranos. It's hard to see how any economy can survive this sort of predatory parasitism."

Question:  If they can do this to a whole county, what do you think they are doing with your money?
