1. OH PLEAUZZZZE!!! I love Cenk but I don't have to agree

that half a billion dollars is "letting them off the hook"

Let's deal with real issues.....how are we going to keep a viable President with any power at all in the White House for 6 more years?

2. You don't love Cenk if you think this administration is

doing an adequate job in representing regular Americans versus the robber barons.

7. You can declare who I love and who I don't and ..

you're not bothered by how totally illogical that sounds.

Not to mention that I did NOT say that I think "this administration is doing an adequate job in representing regular Americans versus the robber barons"...you jut made that up and decided that is what I think? FAIL !

3. $550 Million would be a big fine if it was a penalty. Here you make a couple hundred billion by

cheating and stealing. When caught...you will have to pay a "fine" of $550 million.

If only it could work that way for regular people. Caught speeding and fined $1,000 only to have the governement come in and give me $1,000,000 to pay the fine.

Another example of corrupt government cowed by big business.

4. Should have been a percentage fine

10% of profits per year for the next 5 or 10 years (and can't be deducted as an expense for tax purposes).

5. Oh come on!

If it would have been a regular schmuck like us that did this, we would have had to pay it all back! Then we would have had to pay a fine or jail time. If you mix bad money with good money its all bad money, ask anyone who has been busted for drug sales.
The whole Goldman sachs "club" should have been hit with a RICO case.
HYPOCRISY!!!!
500Million, are you kidding me?
:wtf:

PS. One more thing, if you want to trade facts with Cenk you
will loose 99.9% of the time. The man does his homework!

6. Elizabeth Warren yes...

Gensler, not so much. He STILL has done nothing about the fact that JP Morgan is manipulating the silver market. If the CFTC won't do anything about it, who will? Not sure Cenk is on top of Genslers' actions at the CFTC.
