The White House vs. Rick Santelli http://seekingalpha.com/article/121857-the-white-house-vs-rick-santelli?source=feed#comment-398466 398466
Palosi forces vote on 1000 plus page bill, so she can junket to see the pope. 10 congressmen to India to celebrate Martin Luther King day. Four appointments to cabinet positions that don't feel the need to pay their taxes. How many more. Dodd and company taking cheap loans (payoffs for influence) from countrywide then pontificating about banks.

Give me a break. Washington politicians need to go. Loyal Americans need to work toward removing this garbage.

Term limits.

CNBC's Specious Reporting on the Housing Plan http://seekingalpha.com/article/121858-cnbc-s-specious-reporting-on-the-housing-plan?source=feed#comment-398459 398459
I have been listening to Santelli for years now. His rant was a result of a cumulative seething that permeates America today. Way too much accomodation to illegals, and to the poor poor pitiful that have for the most part brought it on themselves.

Unfortunately, and another of Rick's themes, the government has facilitiated this over the years. Buy, buy, buy then go look for politicians to make it better. If the govt was really concerned for these people they would have better education programs in place to help everyone understand the consequences of their actions.

Govt needs to go, Santelli needs to stay.

Financial Engineering and Wall Street Compensation http://seekingalpha.com/article/112020-financial-engineering-and-wall-street-compensation?source=feed#comment-336396 336396
If these people don't want to work for less, let them leave. There are plenty of talented people who will rise to the occasion.

This is same argument I have with politicians. They also gave themselves a payraise. We don't need more of the same, we need new blood in all aspects of our lives at the moment.
