You will be pleased to know that although Elizabeth Warren was not
exactly my favorite candidate for the Senate, I think she did one
hell of a good job in her first official hearing:

Why can't these politicians just answer the question honestly? "I'll
have to get back to you on that ...." LOL !

I've seen the clips of her attempts to get real answers out of the
regulators. She's a pistol. A lot of the banksters and stocksters should
have done the "perp" walk for what they did, but they know that the
fines they get for what they do is just a cost of doing business, and
that criminal prosecution is not in the cards. Maybe it will be, someday.

It's interesting to contrast her understated, intellectual approach with
that of the over the top antics of, say, Lindsay Graham.

I believe it is very much in the cards for tax fraud.

"Tax fraud"? I didn't think those guys had to pay taxes. ;-)

Unfortunately most of what the big shots did was legal. The illegal
activity was done in the loan process itself and liability really only
goes as high as the people who condoned it.
You might see managers of the loan departments getting prosecuted but
they are not going after the borrowers who perjured themselves on loan
applications and probably not the people who accepted/coached those
applications.
Before you get to the big fish, you will bump into a written policy
that all loan applications are supposed to be true and all loans are
investigated, even if they knew it was a joke.

It is like government regulatory agencies with mission statements and
standards that are impossible to achieve with the resources they have.



Banksters and Stocksters...the best and brightest of America.

Probably not if they play their cards right. I'm not so sure about
our friend FOAD however. I think he probably gets a chill everytime
the federal marshalls arrest someone.

The guy who volunteered for VN? That huckster? Or, are you talkin

who told the world in an effective way about the consequences of
global warming that showed itself during Sandy and all the other
weather extremes. Please be specific about which Al Gore you're yackin
about.

Yeah That guy.
Volunteered to write a column for Stars and Stripes, assured he would
never leave Saigon, yeah that guy.

More bull****... as usual from a right winger who doesn't check his
facts..

http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/gorevietnam.asp

The guy who railed about oil companies for a decade, then sold his
company to an oil emirate. Yeah that guy

So a capitalist. Bad man!

The guy who wants to sell American companies trees in Bolivia at the
point of a government gun (and make a big profit on them) calling it
carbon credits. Yeah that guy.

Carbon credit works. Sorry if you're delusional about it.

He is a huckster who made a fortune on the global warming scare.
Yeah that guy

Yeah, the guy who told the truth. Too bad you don't like it.

BTW cite anything that proves Sandy had a damned thing to do with
global warming. That was a weak cat 1 hurricane that just took a bad
path, pure chance and a thing that has been predicted for decades.
Sandy was more a product of denial than anything else
Even when warned, people would not believe anything bad could ever
happen to them.

Don't have to. The fact is that an increase in temps increase the
chances of storms like Sandy, and all the other records that were set
last year. You've been warned, but you'll just vote for the crazies
anyway, so you're right... even when warned.


Also, the righties complain about the scientists making money all the
time. You got your fat head stuck in a hole in the ground and missed
it?

No comment?? I'm sure ya can pull something out of your ass.
