Outlandish CEO Pay: How to Fix the Problem

yes, when they are allowed to pick their own board members, what do we expect? honesty, integrity?? LOL

Consumer Credit Drops Sharply

So Chase decided to charge $10/mo. and incr the 2% min to 5% min pymt of balance.......then changed their mind due to the outcry.

What freaking idiots are making decisions in these financial companies??? This is beyond belief that 6 figure earners can be so stupid. We are in big trouble.

Are the Big Banks Gaming the Taxpayer?

I recall Hugh McColl of BofA buying up every bank in sight back in the 90's...and thought to be a god by those in Charlotte, NC...as he funnelled money into 'the arts community'. He retired with a $20,000,000 slush fund afterwards, then I think Lewis took over.

We need regional, local banks, no behemoths.

Let Citi and BofA burn. People can move their money to smaller banks and we'll all be safer.

The Escalator of Life Is Going Down (Part 2)

Quinn-I am not your buddy, yet. As one sensible poster said, there is plenty blame to go round. Again, you like to label "dependent people like yourself'. I will not stoop to your child-like responses. You just shot yourself in the foot 'it was a govt agency that failed to enforce laws'...Gee, who broke the laws? The free-market power brokers???

Lets put everything into free markets......like drinking water, police protection, fire, sewage......that should solve everything.

Some of us responsible people want balance betwn free market and govt.

The Escalator of Life Is Going Down (Part 2)

Quinn-You sound like a typical repub. We need middle of the road genious to get out of this situation. No repub, no demo. American people are tired of you labeler-extremists who just want one party to rule. Who cares? We want an economy not choked or controlled by greedy and powerful.
Try using your 'market freedom' and 'individuals solving their own problems' to go find insurance against healthcare costs that will bankrupt you. See if an insurer will be impressed by your self-help approach.
We need govt to step up and help us with financial greed and with healthcare.
