Listeners, I haven't been able to get a handle on this GFC thing. One moment John G Redneck in Dillville, Montana, declares to his de facto and 17 children - all named Elmer - that he can't keep up the mortgage on his one room trailer and has to sell their youngest child for gasoline, next minute the UK is lining up outside the World Bank grasping a warm bottle of Watney's Red Barrel in a paper bag begging for food stamps. Tell me if I'm dreaming here, but maybe the whole financial deck of cards has been teetering on a fulcrum for so long and none of us knew it cause the rich blokes hid it from us thinking we are just a bunch of dumb schmucks and they had their Long Island holiday temples to fund and couldn't care less if their Indian call centres were selling financial products to uneducated cretins. Don't ask me, I just play records.
