Did your union or your government protect you? Why not? All they did was take your money and now where are you? Government and unions are the problem. Conservatives have understood that for a long time. You don’t understand this fact so you took it on the chin and now you’re bitter. That’s understandable and unfortunate but it doesn’t change the fact that free trade etc. is not the source of the problem. That rests squarely on the shoulders of government and unions —two institutions you seem to still be enamored with. If your recent experiences and this forum can’t make you smell the coffee then I’m afraid there isn’t much hope.
As I am not union why should they protect me? As for government, I agree; however,I will not in this lifetime excuse the street and the globalists who played a major roll in this mess and perverted capitalism and the free market to make their undeserved and excessive profits.
I might also note that the economy should have been protected...but of course was not as important as the trillions involved in these schemes to the traders and our government. What really burns me is we bailed out the POS’s who caused this, and they are still in place waiting to drop another H bomb on our economy. At the very least...top management must be fired from bailed out banks...hopefully, they will soon need the best lawyers they can find.
