By: mssouthernlady. on 23 Oct 08, 05:52:35
Where is the accountability???? Why aren't the people responsible arrested? Is there immunity? I so don't get it? Thomas Jefferson,the Founding Father views of these exact matters: "I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."

By: berubrro. on 18 Oct 08, 00:32:49
Unfortunately, alot of the American public only listens to sound bites and never go back to find how all the problems began. Until those supporting Obama dare to look at his and other democrat records, we are lost to those who are more than willing to dig the whole deeper. They will always blame someone else. Shame on Pelosi for allowing the Good Ole Dems to keep pretending to help the little guy.

Barney the Freak talks about the banks paying us back, but I called my congress critter after reading the Senate proposal, both the proposal and the Senators say that if the money goes to the banks it is never going back to the people, it will simply be reabsorbed into the treasury on top of all the tax increases.

Republicans did their best to stop the Fannie & Freddie Meltdown, but Gregory Meeks, Maxine Waters, Artur Davis, Barney Frankenstein, & Lacy Clay (ALL DEMOCRATS) did everything they could (including insults) to stop the progress. It's ALL ON VIDEO TAPE. Bill Clinton (on tape) says it's true that Democrats blocked Republican reform & oversight ideas. I love Video Tape Evidence! Thank God For C-Span & YouTube!!!

By: Dealit707. on 24 Sep 08, 15:58:50
Barney Frank IS the politician most responsible for the present economic disaster in America, as head of the congressional House Banking Committee, he spent most of his time trying to stop any reaL reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, he repeatedly insisted they weren't backed by the taxpayers. "There is no federal liability whatsoever," Frank said in 2000. Two weeks ago the U S taxpayers had to bail out Frannie and Freddie with $200 billion tax dollars. You are a disgrace Barney. RESIGN!!

Barney Frank is a bogus bag of bull tirds! This sleazy parasite sucking off the public weal has the nerve to blame a few in the private sector for our latest financial woes. Complete falsehood! What a twisted lie! What a shameless liar! He and those conniving reprobates in Congress (pass and present) are solely responsible for these financial woes! It's two-faced weasels like him in our Congress that are the root cause of our nation's troubles today! Liars! Kick the bums out!

By: davidluk8. on 02 Oct 08, 19:08:02
Lehman Brothers sold MiniBonds in Hong Kong and Singapore. Lehman and the bankers are criminals. They should go to jail. The minibonds are actually NOT BONDS, it is derivatives used to hide Lehmans toxic assets and use the money to gambling in other markets. They sold this toxic to senior citizens who know NOTHING about derivatives and the risks. Those pensioners loss EVERYTHING and the Lehman guys got billions of bonus before they collapsed.

As for the companies ... they regaurd the shareholder's money as their assets. The fall of these companies is merely the rich culling all of the money out of the companies from average investors

The credit dose not buy much and panic selling speak of its own depression. Freezing the stock asset because there isn't any stock asset is not worth buying but what is their money worth is to become prosperous in their business. It would take a capitalist society to rebuild wealth.

By: Martintfre. on 24 Sep 08, 16:41:51
the crisis is created by government intervention where in (Greenspan points at 4:30 into this) we are socializing losses while privatizing gains.

By: Martintfre. on 24 Sep 08, 16:32:55
The crisis is created by purely by foolish government regulations...In Greenspans words (4:30 into interview) privatizing profits while socializing losses. Capitalism means not only do we have the chance to profits, but we must face the risk of loss. The tax payers are unwilling/undeserving victims in this bail out scheme.
