  • Fannie Mae, reverse mortgages, bankers and politicians blowing another bubble to get their bonuses and get elected.

    If they were feeding our children and grand-children into a meat grinder in front of our eyes we would stop them: shoot them, hang them, behead them.

    Somehow - we allow ten to twenty years of our somnambulance and their legerdemain to pass - and the same thing happens to our children and grandchildren in needless wars, on the decaying streets of our cities, and in the death of the middle class - we re-elect the charlatans, and allow the vampires to roam free.

    Where is Jon Corzine?
