Quote of the Day

I will agree to put a cap on the profits of banks if they continue to make things difficult for citizens

  -- MK Moshe Gafni, head of the Knesset Finance Committee

sounds like a recipe for making sure the banks all close. if they decide the profit cap is too small to make their business worthwhile, they'll just stop doing business. putting a cap on banks potential profits sounds like a move to socialism.

What do you think? Am I misunderstanding?

  1. You are 100% right - the only cap on the profits of the banks should be competition.

  2. I was very upset with moshe Kachlon. He came into the office of the Finance Ministry with a lot of promise, but didnt do much of anything significant. he tried to bring housing costs down with his mechir lamishtaken plan that many say was a failure. What upset me is that he campaigned on bank reform, but did nothing about it the entire 5 years or so he was Finance Minister. People were sure that if anyone could do it, it is Moshe Kachlon. And he never explained why not.
