“What do you need to do to go to jail for a financial crime? Do you need to do a financial crime and then punch a baby in the face!” Okay, that’s the funniest thing I have heard! LOL!!!!!

Why we haven’t taken to the streets down Wall St way, or anywhere we can protest reveals our apathy and guilt. We’re mad at Madoff and the theives of Wall street, but what are we the people doing? Nothing. Just waiting for Obama to save us.

Suzanne, Deb, remember back when WOW first started getting hot. It was before the primaries, before the campaigning had really even started. We had a few good discussions on the economy on here and I remember a few times when we and a couple others here whose names I can’t think of right now (forgive me) were saying pretty much what this Ms. McClean and John Stewart were saying here about our economy. There was a poster on here who claimed to be in a financial related business who was very obviously trying to lure us into deep philosphical, pseudo-factual discussions on the economy so that she could tout the make-believe merits of the republican economic ideology. She didn’t last long, at least not under that personna. Anyway, it seems to me we’ve been proven right. An economy isn’t driven from the top down. It has to be supported from the bottom up to survive. What we’ve had for the last 8 years is a smoke and mirrors economy just like the smoke and mirrors executive branch of goverment. They tore away the foundation of our economy when they paid their corporate cronies to take all the manufacturing jobs out of the country and put 10,000,000 Americans out of work at the same time that they were tearing away the foundation of our government, or Constitution. The Bush regime has been one huge “smash and grab” operation. They stunned us with a war while they picked our pockets and snatched our purses.
