Yessirree, boy, you got to hand it to the GOP. after the worst
meltdown in 80 years, and fresh from their meeting with the US chamber
of commerce and wall street CEO's to plan on how they're going to
fight regulation of the financial markets, the GOP is getting TOUGH!!

way to go!!

This is a political whitewash of Goldman-Sachs and the government. Is a
Civil suit. GS cooperated with the SEC and all of the sudden the SEC
files a civil suit. Not a normal mode of business by the SEC. There
would be meetings and fines and other penalties, before it ever got to a
civil suit. This is a ploy to make it look like they are doing
something.

The was talk of criminal charges also. The SEC is, by law, a distinct
agency. I suspect you know little about the inner workings of the SEC.
You
certainly haven't demonstrated any knowledge.

You don't have to be a lawyer to see that the SEC selectively enforces
things. Enron versus GM...both cooked the books. But then Wagoner was
from Harvard like Obama.

I would have to be an idiot to believe that you know anything of substance.

because american law does not allow prosecution of the rich for
criminal offenses. no matter WHAT GS did, the law protects the rich

.. GS cooperated with the SEC and all of the sudden the SEC files
a civil suit. Not a normal mode of business by the SEC. There would be
meetings and fines and other penalties, before it ever got to a civil suit.

the SEC should be disbanded and replaced by an agency that has some
teeth...and some indepdendence

They have both. They just do not bite the hands that control them.

Agreed there. SEC obviously gets it's chained pulled by politicians and
not justice.
