And you want the bank execs shipped off to Russia where they can be executed?

Not really. I'd rather see them executed in the USA than to see any more American jobs outsourced. [/sarc]

Seriously, these vermin have pillaged our economy and millions of people have lost their retirement nest eggs and millions more are losing their jobs. While these guys live the high life. Even Bernie Madoff, an outright criminal, is being allowed to live in his fancy apartment that he bought with stolen money. These bastards are not at all accountable to our laws and I am getting really, really angry that they are not being held to account.

You're painting with a broad brush.

Some or all of the execs appearing today are not the same ones who were at the top while the "pillaging" was going on.

Many of these are the ones trying to right the ship.

They are not all getting "golden parachutes". The media is cherry picking to make it seem like they are all corrupt. It's far from true.

You should really direct your anger more toward gov't regulation that mandated sub-primes in the first place. Do you think banks wanted to issue scads of sub-prime loans. Ridiculous. Why would they issue loans with no hope of getting repaid? Sure, later when they found out Barney Frank said not to worry...the gov't would back the loans... they issued them freely.
