5 Failures of SEC Chairman Cox

I believe that GREED has permeated our financial institutions, corporate America and most certainly the government. Through fear and loathing we are fed a continuous diet of lies and half truths. Under these pretenses we have let Congress forget about the Constitution and give the president a war that he wanted. In addition Congress appropriates borrowed money to fund it. We have given up individual freedoms,so that the government can be more efficient in catching and monitoring terrorist organizations. NOW they want to give one man,Secretary Paulson ,more power than has ever been and was ever meant to be by the Constitution! They want to give him the free reigns that he needs and 700 Billion to do it with. What is wrong with this picture. Come on America ...wake up.

Ask George Bush he has perpetrated the fear mentality and it's consequences.
