(5,275 posts)There are some things that trouble me a great bit. One big one is the fact that there has been no massive perp walk of Wall Street execs. Nobody can blame congress for that, it's all on Obama and Holder. It's mystifying. Selling crappy investment wrapped in better ones to people while shorting them at the same time is fraud 101.
All this is the reason why so many pensions went bust. But far from being charged, a good number of the high level white collared thieves got 500 million or so dollar payouts. However Obama/Holder have done almost nothing about it - and if I can see it plain as day they sure can too.
There is one main reason they haven't gone after them, and it's the reason our political system is broke - it's not so good in too many ways vs truly awful party wise now. Nice choice. We need desperately to get money out of politics, to go to public funding of elections to end the lobbying/bribery game that's played out over and over.
