Watching the members of congress grilling the bankers was fascinating. These guys are real noble bastards. Yup.
Can someone tell me why these questions didn't come up before any TARP money was given to them?
Then next we get to Bernie Madoff (and I suspect numerous others like him we'll find out about as we go on).
These scandals are going to make Enron look like chicken feed.
Bernie's wife apparently withdrew 15 million dollars before he was "arrested" (ten million days before).
A whistle blower named Harry Markopolos tried to turn in Madoff to the SEC and offered to help catch him years before this broke, but he was ignored. Apparently Bernie had a protective bubble that covered extreme corruption.
Wall Street is only about money, money and getting more money.
It's obviously not the American worker or borrower that caused this mess, it really is the fat cats.
Insurance companies, banks, major corporations are not there for our health and happiness, they are there to own, work and take advantage of us.
Oh, crap I sound somewhat Marxist. Damn it. Sorry about that... not really.
Speaking of... Today's Sarah Palin's birthday, not a National Holiday (at least not yet). She shudders and moves on.
So today we have a 790 billion dollar stimulus package. I hope it lends a hand to the real everyday people out there, the ones who need some help.
I hope it's worth every single dollar: It won't be, but baby I still can dream.
G'night,
Have to catch up on computer work tomorrow.
