I recall the "minister of food" or something or another in China who was sentenced to death after the poison baby food scandal....we talked about here.

Yeah...that'd be good...scare the fuck out of all banks so they lend even less money to people who have a dream but limited collateral.

Smart move.

That's the ticket.

We`re talking about the ones who bet other people`s money on highly risky schemes, losing 17 Trillion dollars,millions of American jobs,melting our economy and then giving the American taxpayer the bailout bill.....

You must have heard about it.........it was in all the papers and news shows.

The ones who didn`t do that have nothing to worry about....

Nope, no better. The government there was involved up to its eyeballs, and the top crooks evaded charges. They simply executed some low level peons for show.

Edited to add: It could well be that in Iran, as elsewhere overseas, some officials are underpaid with the implicit understanding that bribes will make up the difference. A variant of the tipping scheme in vogue here.

Oh, I thought you meant shit they were ACTUALLY good at like making pita bread or those little meat pies.
So who gets to do this if it were going on here? The Occupy folks had PLENTY of evidence and you get jerked if they break a bank window.
Personally I think that if one has had ANYTHING to do with SubPrime loans you ought to have your nuts crushed under a tuck tire as an appetizer ... but that's just me.

But don't kid yourself Butch ... If you are one of Ahmedinejad's cronies, you walk away in $1,200 shoes just like Jamie Dimon. Ahmedinejad is Romney, just more in need of a shave.

Of course! Someone with connections to whatever ministry oversees the baking industry would never arrange for false accusations to be brought against some rival. Only guilty people ever get accused in the first place.
