The US government stepped in to save Bear Stearns, Freddie & Fannie and AIG.
Then last week they stepped in to save the banking system by bailing out the banks of their sub-prime debt.

Cobblers Children Have No Shoes – Have you?

I had a laugh and a joke this morning about cobbler’s children with Craig Ringland of Digby Morgan, the international HR recruiters.

It’s the decorator whose own house never get’s painted, the accountant who is always late in submitting his own tax return or, on a more topical point, the global banks that suffer from liquity problems!
