Who are these "bad people on Wall Street"? There are incompetent people. There are some scoundrels, but most simply did a poor job of risk analysis. For the record, it's really easy to make the kind of money you talk about on Wall Street without having to steal anything.
Who is stealing billions of dollars from hard working americans? Are you talking about those Americans that don't / can't read their loan documents or other agreements they sign into? Why don't we just make people responsible for taking care of themselves, and both problems are fixed.
The statistics are what they have been for about 3-4 years now. You are knowingly placing the blame on the wrong President.
We can always count on our communist brethren here to blame Bush every single time. Thanks, Maris. I was wondering when you'd come along and blame Bush.
In an industry based entirely on making "Money for nothing", the better question might be "can you name any good people on Wall Street?".
Wrong. Food stamp use is at an all-time high, as the article states, and unemployment is also higher than it's been in many years. We're also much more in debt than we ever were under Bush, or any other president. Under Obama, the federal deficit has gotten obscenely high. Instead of focusing on job creation, Obama has foolishly put most of his energy into the health care bill, which most people are opposed to. Obama doesn't have a clue.
Yep. Thank you for confirming that you have no idea what the financial sector does. Meanwhile, your career consists of having hardworking taxpayers pay you for just showing up at your government job and then as an externality in the process of people who buy homes. Pretty much you've been a lifelong economic parasite.
I have never met shooter in person but I hold a lot of the beliefs that he seems to state, so if an internet forum meeting constitutes "meeting" then yes he has, me.
