The purpose of the stress tests never was to disclose the financial strength or weaknesses of our banks to the general public. The purpose of the stress tests has always been so our banker-buddies in government could determine how many more drops of blood still had to be squeezed from the veins of the already enemic taxpayers. We only know about the stress tests because our poiticians want us to feel like spending millions of dollars (on tests) to further tax us hundreds of billions was in our best interest. Make sense? NOPE! Just keeping us busy with smoke and mirrors.

I may be beat down but.........brother, I'm not broke.
