Well, well, well.

I still have my dream: that Robert Rubin sits before a Congressional Committee and is forced to plead the Fifth Amendment. On television, so that the tape can be run in 1000 campaign commercials for the GOP.

Yeah, "dream" is right! Rubin and Clinton will be fingered for ruining our financial system right after the American media and university academics issue a joint apology to the late Joe McCarthy for ever having doubted his assertions that the federal government was full of Soviet spies!

Can you just imagine the softballs that Byrd would toss as Rubin? This isn't going to happen. I just know it. Not unless we take back the Senate. They run the committee and they will not take down one of their own.

*sigh* I wish I had dreams like that. I bet it was in color, too.

Miss M, Congressional hearings would not do squat to help stop the decaying US and world markets. Department of Justice indictments delivered to the crooked CEO's, analysts, accountants, and politicians would be a good start. Names like Ebbers, Lay, Rubin, McCauliff, Richardson, Clinton quickly come to mind. The market was hyped during the Clinton years to be better than it was. When Mr Clinton left the Whitehouse, trust me, he took more than the silverware...........

BUT, since this market collapse was created by politicians and for the politicians (and their wealthy friends) not a damned thing will be done about it.
