“The crooks at AIG are the scapegoats for Bawney Fwank and bozo.”
Nonsense. They created and gleefully sold the credit default swaps and made billions, for a while. Frank didn’t make them engage in a massive Ponzi scheme or do you believe that mincing sissy forced international capitalism to make billions? And you may remember that this took place on the Bush watch, not Obama’s. Making up excuses for what AIG and others did so you can blame the Dems is self delusional. When the party ended AIG and its fellow racketeering outfits threatened to tank the economy of the whole world unless they were bailed out and Paulson the Thief and the rest of the moneymen took OUR money and gave it to them. That’s not capitalism, b, not even close. Its extortion on a global scale.
If we are going to change things, we need to be clear eyed about what happened.
Simple straight froward and 100% correct, you would need to be a complete idiot not to understand this. Yet day in day out some slow witted fool starts the barney the queer crap.
People, the bankers did what they did to make money, they don't give a rats-ass about barney either.
