“This absolutely infuriates me.
We had plenty of money to gut Iraq.
We had plenty of money to REBUILD IRAQ, including their new SINGLE-PAYER HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-dorlester/guaranteed-health-care-in_b_280528.html
We had plenty of money to hand out to bankers with no strings attached. No one on the right complained it was going to bankrupt the nation when they got their handouts!!!!
Now, we can't have a d*****d single-payer health care bill passed because it might upset the wealthy insurance corporate executives who bankroll both parties. We can't get out of Afghanistan or Iraq because, heck, now we've got no jobs for those soldiers to come home to. We can't have a bailout for the middle class because, well, they don't really matter much in Washington - especially in the Senate. They've got no money left to lobby with now, so who needs them?
This nation is in the midst of a coup d'etat and the politicians want us to docilely go away and let them be with their lobbyists and perks while the nation is decimated by a terminal orgy of corruption and greed.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! When are people going to get angry enough to put a stop to this grand larceny? When are the people of this nation going to demand justice? When are the people of this nation going to demand their country back from these criminally insane modern-day robber barons?”

“That's the equivalent of what the U.S. housing market was worth right before the financial gurus started trading housing futures (the Case Schiller Index) on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, allowing them to destabilize and "game" what was previously the largest pool of private assets in the world .... this occurred, coincidentally, shortly before the housing bubble burst.”

“Pay attention, our Congressional "leaders" are just covering their a--, cya you know. A lot of smoke and mirrors, fake anger and outrage, and maybe they get elected again. They are just as much a part of this collapse as Bernanke and others. Have they taken pay cuts? Wait, don't they raise their pay every year? Expense accounts? Why is this even a fulltime job for them, they should get a "real" job.”

“Right about Bernanke being there. But Timmy's been there, too. And Summers has been there. Most of Obama's key economic appointees have been there. "There" is the Bush economic wrecking crew.
