It's Over For The Banking Cabal
The most salient point made here is the comment that these Wall Street thieves could not have acted alone. Either as a result of omission, incompetence, collusion and/or bribery, our erstwhile elected and appointed ''representatives'' are equally responsible for this sad state of affairs. Few of the elected guardians of our civil liberties have raised any alarms, nor have they sought any corrective or CRIMINAL prosecutory actions. Lest they stifle the flow of cash coming into their campaign coffers. And the appointed ones desire to retire to cushy jobs in the future, on some fancy board of directors. No doubt on one of the very firms they now ''regulate.''
Now, I am on record as having stated previously that you cannot fixed cancer. You can't tweak it. You can't mollify it. You can't reason with it. You can't regulate it. You have to cutoff its blood supply, and then cut it out or it will spread and kill its host. That is cancer's nature. And what has taken over our system of governance is now cancer at the terminal stage. Even if we stop the spread now, there is no guarantee the patient won't die from the ravages inflicted thusfar. But if we don't arrest these bastards and shut down these firms now, death will surely come.
- And it could be argued that we will have gotten exactly what we deserved for standing idly by and doing little to nothing to stop it.....

are you not understanding?
Until bankers are making incomes at least as high as before the "crash", the entire world's financial system is in jeopardy.
Why are Spitzer and the other looney-left firebaggers worrying about the 99% getting @#$%ed, when the entire world is in the balance? Look, we can't all get our ponies.
We should feel fortunate that the bankers, and the other job creators, don't just walk away and leave us defenseless.
Change is hard, and change takes time. Geological time.

You can find some in Washington willing to pay some Lip Service to this issue, but when "the chips are down",
they line up to shovel the nations wealth and future into their pockets as fast as they can.
Even the "Historic Reforms" were a Made for Kabuki Theater joke.

Now THIS is Bi-Partisanship.
Better get used to it!

FOr those who believe that the US Government is some giant, monolithic structure
that is too slow and heavy to respond effectively to any situation,
let THIS put that belief to rest forever.
The Senate, The House, and the White House delivered a $TRILLION DOLLARS to Wall Street less than a week after receiving Paulson's Ransom note.
Our "representatives" in government can strike faster than a rattlesnake
when their personal net worth (portfolios) are threatened.
The "It takes a long time to turn a ship at sea" excuse for inaction is Forever Busted.
