More is heaped onto the Big Shitpile:
Layoffs at Delta Financial Corp., the Woodbury-based subprime lender that announced plans to file for bankruptcy Thursday, began in large numbers around noon Friday.
For the next hour, about 40 workers were seen streaming out of the headquarters building with boxes of their personal items.
The Delta Financial employees, who said they had been told not to speak to reporters, refused to give their names as they helped each other load belongings into their cars.
...
Shares of Delta plummeted Thursday on the bankruptcy announcement and closed at 19 cents, down $1.51. In early trading Friday, the stock was up three cents to 22 cents. The stock is off more than 96 percent this year.
But wait, the Dear Leader said the economy was doing fine!

Actually, mandt, if you're referring to my comment, I was thinking more of "Please sir, may I have another!" altho "Calm down, Everything's fine!" just before getting trampled under foot works well too.

Earlier in the year, I saw this doc called "Maxed Out"
It deals with the crimes of the credit industry.
It's scary to see how much of it is coming true.
