one side says more federal intrusion, the other side says less federal intrusion etc etc..

the simple solution that only one or two here has pointed out is that all anybody here seems to care about is their parties agenda.

-when all that is needed is someone just has to have the balls to implement “you will be held accountable for your actions right down to the last nickel. -you screw over the public, you get stiff fines *and* 10yr+, no-parol (and no Fed country club jails either)jail terms to those who game/scam the system”

being Bubba’s bitc* on Rikers Island sounds like a fair place to server your jail term for burning the public.

done.

imo, both parties are guilty of making sure that nothing of this sort of action/law never sees the light of day.. -they all have money sticking out their hole.

we MUST HAVE unequivocal accountability across the board in our government, the banks and wall street. until that happens, anything either side proposes is just feel good fluff put out to dupe the public and pull votes and money to further “the money masters” agenda

i mean come on..the SEC found all the major bank players JPmorgan, Citigroup, BoFA…guilty of fraud in the housing repack of the auction rate securities throughout june, july and august of 2008, fining them millions and forced them to buy back the billions of fraudulent securities they foisted on the little fish.

-on top of the that, goldman sachs and morgan stanly (securities divisions) were also fined and forced to buy back the billions of crap securities they repacked and sold (several times over in some cases)

and do we hear of anyone at top of these companies being arrested and jailed?? -not that i have found..

-like fining these guys makes any difference..they just add some zero’s
in the computer for the next days trades..oh the pain.. :s

topping it all off they going to let G.sachs and morgan stanly` become banks now too?? OMFG…where is the headline stories and outrage on all this complete bull****

why still is nobody going to jail??

talk about letting the wolfs guard the hen house..

the system has been straight up gamed for a century or more… until they put hard core accountability laws for fraudulent manipulation and out right lying/scamming on books, it doesn’t make a hill of beans which
party’s glue you sniff.

when are all you left wingnut/right wingnut suckers going to get it through your brainwashed skulls that the banks own you, your thoughts and your favorite party..

step way back and look at the grand picture… stop buying into all the Us vs Them bullsh**
and *think for yourself* for a change..

just maybe, you’ll finally start to be part of the solution and not one of the millions of pawns conned/hired on to help “keep the problem” alive..

-accountability for actions. simple

(but….just see how long you live when you put the bill up on capital hill though..) :S

-s

pss, and of course, abolish The Fed and give us back our right to print our own, interest free money. -JFK was about to do that..look what happened to him.. its no easy task to be sure.

#63 – Lyin’ Mike

>>Sworn deposition testimony puts Penny
>>Pritzker not only on the board of the bank
>>and its holding company, Coast, blah blah
>>blah

Sorry Lyin’ Mike. That “link” doesn’t even load.

Everything I’ve read states that she was just a figurehead, sucked into the maelstrom caused by Uncle Jay.

If you have a REAL link to the contrary (and no, I’m not accepting World Net Daily or an Ann Coulter column), let’s see it.

Otherwise, your claims will be dismissed as just more of Lyin’ Mike’s lyin’.

Fuck it, I am going to go be a lettuce farmer in “the woods” somewhere with my camo clothes.

Sworn deposition testimony puts Penny Pritzker not only on the board of the bank and its holding company, Coast, but personally leading the meeting to persuade regulators to let the bank into the subprime market.

Here’s a link to all the depositions.

I never said ONLY one type of person. I said exclude ONE type.

If the bills were written in plain English (like the Constitution) you wouldn’t need atty’s except to side check.

See what Jefferson said was the consequence of having atty’s in Congress…

Or, we could have only Doctors in Congress. But then no one could read the bills. Besides, they would be so busy operating on everyone they wouldn’t cut the deficit.

Or we could have only telephone line repairmen. But they would be so busy listening in on other conversations. But also the Republican line repairmen would just stand around pulling each other’s wire.

Or little ole ladies? Naa, too many stink of lilac. Can you imagine the entire country being forced to wash down their Metamucil with prune juice.

Airline Pilots? They are always going to some controller for permission on what to do or where to go.

Former military leaders? Name one that did a lot of good for this country. (Washington is the exception)

Yup, I guess I’m happy with lawyers.

The dems have plenty of non atty’s who could run.

>>It would be better if atty’s were banned from
>>gov exec positions.

I might have agreed with you, O’, if we hadn’t just been through the shittiest 8 years since Ike (which is as far back as I can remember) at the hands of a non-lawyer.

If Dumbya were running against Nixon, I’d vote for Nixon. And I NEVER thought I’d say that I would vote for Nixon, under any circumstances.

Or, is it just our own stuidity?

Probably a little of both! I’d say.

“Everyone seems to forget that basically Congress is a nest of lawyers.”

“Why is everyone expecting a bunch of shady criminal lawyers who only live to cover the asses of people charged with crimes to solve financial issues?”

About half the country wants an atty running the country. It would be better if atty’s were banned from gov exec positions.

Everyone seems to forget that basically Congress is a nest of lawyers. Just try to find a Congressperson who wasn’t a mouthpiece back home in their constituency.

And here they are trying to make BUSINESS decisions.

Why in the hell aren’t businesspeople taking care of this financial issue? Government is, if you think about it, a service business. People pay taxes, they (should) get services provided in return. Mail delivered. Roads built. Soil protected.

Why is everyone expecting a bunch of shady criminal lawyers who only live to cover the asses of people charged with crimes to solve financial issues? I say it can’t be done properly, never mind affordably.

#17: Is it just me or is this country getting more fucked up every second?

It’s not just you. You’re right.
