UncleNasty -> Business as usual - Fox guarding the henhouse (10/20/2009 7:56:43 AM)
From NYT the other day. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/18/opinion/18rich.html?_r=2&th&emc=th And this one which points out how numbers have been fudged by BoA and Citigroup in an effort to keep gov't from passing more aggressive legislation. "Look, you don't need to be involved, because we're good shape now." I swear you could find these dynamics in any lay persons transactional analysis book from the 70's: "Look mom/dad how much better I'm doing now. And I promise it won't happen again. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/19/opinion/19krugman.html?th&emc=th Draw your own conclusions. Uncle Nasty

I don't want the government to fix any more problems.

Well that seems to be the issue Pahunkboy......have they actually fixed the problem?

They put a band aid on the problem. With an estimated 1 trillion dollar deficit and then some for each of the next 1o years, they have fixed nothing. Obama is having a fund raising event tonight with wall street execs. $30,400 per ticket for dinner and a chance to meet the pres.

Servant when I said "they" it was a decidedly non-partisan "they"....somehow you translate that to Obama,Tarp began under a republican administration....those pesky little details will get you every time.

I can't afford for the government to fix anything else! quote: ORIGINAL: pahunkboy I don't want the government to fix any more problems.

Everyone has made this mess. I say vote out everyone who supported this mess. Forget what party your in and get this fixed! We are not 3 year olds here. Do what needs to be done. quote: ORIGINAL: slvemike4u quote: ORIGINAL: servantforuse They put a band aid on the problem.

The problem there is no one can agree on "who supported this mess".The finger pointing will usually break down along party lines.....please see Servant's psot for a prime example.

Goldman Sachs and other big banks demonstrate the strength to take all they can. Isn't it the basic neo-liberal economics idea: business business is business. Hopefully the shareholders get also something. In general: Fleecing of America as long as there is something to take. http://jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-goldman-sachs-leveraged-70-billion.html http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23719394-goldman-sachs-average-pay-and-bonus-to-hit-500000.do http://blogs.reuters.com/rolfe-winkler/2009/10/15/letting-goldman-roll-the-dice/ http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=abo3Zo0ifzJg
