It was a democrat congress who created TARP and didn't see any dems complain when it was misappropriated to corrupt auto. Now you have Government Motors lobbiests donating government money to senators and congress people to get elected. Slight conflict of interest here, government paying for representations advertising.

And as any business person has been tought, bailouts so far are a sunk cost. Always look forward on ROI. And bailouts have no ROI.

Throw enough government lawyers and contracted law firms at the mess, and they'll surely find charges that will stick. Convicting a few hundred suits and sending them to the slammer would do wonder for restoring a bit of integrity to the investment con job business. And we also need much, much tighter oversight of the "investment biz." Penny ante thieves go to prison. So should the big time thieves in the "investment" biz. Perhaps these "investment" clowns should be bonded. If they act imprudently, the bonding companies would make restitution and then work with prosecutors to make sure the crooks are tried in criminal courts. -- The Tea Party's teabaggers are just the Republican base by another name. |

Maybe I should go back to practice law again! ;) nahhh... You would define having a fool for representation. The only law you might have done was as a file clerk. -- Time to ask, is our government serving us or are we serving the government? Says the moron who can't hold a job and can't get into the US. Keep trying to impress people with your vast intellect.... also, get a job. -- Nom=de=Plume |

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!! they're going to investigate the SEC for investigating goldman sachs.... they're not investigating goldman sachs.... they're feelling sorry for the wall street giant that got billions of public funds...so they're investigaing the cops: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...l?hpid=topnews 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. -- Nom=de=Plume Nope, but even the investment community is stating the same thing. Political more than legal. As I said, you know nothing about the SEC. -- Nom=de=Plume Maybe not. But you know even less about stocks. Accusing someone of giving money to Altria (MO) when they buy shares. MO got the money when they sold the shares. They send me about 6.7% of todays value of the stock in a dividend. They get no money when the stock is traded. There's no maybe about it. You're clueless. Who do you think creates the stock that gets sold... the ghost of christmas past? -- Nom=de=Plume |

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. -- Time to ask, is our government serving us or are we serving the government?
