Rofl, that Krugman article portrayed him as a humble guy who lives in a small home by referencing the size of his condo. They conveniently ignored his giant million dollar Mansion in Princeton he owns.

All Greece (and Iceland) have to do is say is FU. The Fed will roll in with money through the back door and structure it so that it looks like they are meeting their obligations.
How long can the Fed keep it up, as long as we believe!

A new advisory being sent by America’s third largest bank to its account holders has stoked fears that major financial institutions could be preparing for old fashioned bank runs if the economy takes a turn for the worse.

Originally reported by John Carney over at the Business Insider website, Citigroup is sending the following information to customers along with their bank statements.

“Effective April 1, 2010, we reserve the right to require (7) days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all checking accounts. While we do not currently exercise this right and have not exercised it in the past, we are required by law to notify you of this change.”
