This is the best, clearly written, concise and simple summary explaining what has happened to this country. The hit the nail obn the head honesty is refreshing.
It’s weird how easy it is for the commie ‘RATS to convince the “unwashed masses” how it is the Republicans who are screwing them over and the “unwashed masses” ALWAYS believe them. I know the average I.Q. in this country has gone in the toilet but this is getting ridiculous.
It would be interesting if they were sued in federal court. Or some sort of criminal court. I think that they sould be tried and if found guilty, shot for treason.
Ironically the occupiers are right that there is an evil 1%. This article is all about them.
Way to go, Newt!! Jail the corrupt bastards!!

That's exactly what I was thinking. The "wall Street" strawman is a pretty good distraction however.
IndyMac?

Dana Vachon made a good point some time ago that the reason people are so upset with Wall Street and congress is that no one was frog marched in a public display and jailed over the ‘08 collapse. People need to see some responsible parties, much like Ken Lay and Enron, pay a price for this outrageous event. It would act as a start to healing the country.
The fact that we are 3 years down the road and still Congress and folks like Corzine are still wandering around without a care in the world is disgusting.
Oops sir didn’t notice that was you.
Looks like Newt is in Cujo mode now. This is good. I hope he doesn’t bite his own feet off in the process.
What’s happening with the servers, if it’s not a problem local to me? I see a whole lot of unavailable over the last few days.
Self ping to read and smile...
And on the other front - Holder, Big Jan, and the One himself!
Devilishly clever isn’t it? Hide the truth in plane (dirty) sight.
-——Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-God Help Us) in charge of tweaking the Dodd-Frank reforms as the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee.-——
When a mental retard like Maxine Waters is the ranking member of that committee, all hope is lost....at least Frank was intelligent
The country is doomed
Of course she’s going to treat it like her private pot of jam. I fail to see how the word “Democrat” is going to be considered any more honorable than an Anglo-Saxon four letter word by the time elections roll around next year.
Time for real “claw back”.
He said that they should be jailed for Fannie and countrywide. Not for Dodd-Frank.
Personally, they should’ve been jailed for the prostitution ring and the waitress sandwich .

But it does not always do this. Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame, danger, and scruple which their acts would otherwise involve. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons, and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim — when he defends himself — as a criminal. In short, there is a legal plunder...
Now, legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways. Thus we have an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, benefits, subsidies, encouragements, progressive taxation, public schools, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed profits, minimum wages, a right to relief, a right to the tools of labor, free credit, and so on, and so on. All these plans as a whole — with their common aim of legal plunder — constitute socialism.
You would use the law to oppose socialism? But it is upon the law that socialism itself relies. Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.
excerpts..."The Law" - Frederic Bastiat 1801-1850
DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic.
DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic.
