9. I wonder how many foreclosed houses

End up being the same as the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Just because it's hard to compare, doesn't mean the destruction at some point doesn't become equal are larger. How many homeless people, how many that committ suicide due to terrible conditions, how many are in prison due to poverty created directly as a result of allowing the rich to have so, so much?

3. Matt Taibbi may be the best political reporter of our day.

6. He is one of the very few "reporters".

4. Thank you Matt. Unfortunately this information

is widely known. There has been no action taken about it. Sadly, IMO, these people own our government and seem to be immune from prosecution.

"WE, THE PEOPLE", must demand that "our" government prosecutes (at least) these felons. These Congressional hearings were aired on tee vee, the evidence is indisputable. It may not be "the end of the world" today, but governing for "we the people" in lower income brackets, seems to be over.

5. Lloyd Blankfein less of a terrorist than OBL? That's debatable.

7. This government IS Wall Street! There will be no real convictions, no justice.

Obama hearts Wall Street. Look at his sickening cabinet.

8. It Is An Open And Shut Case.

These banksters committed widespread blatant fraud. Why hasn't Obama gone after them apologists?

10. He makes a very important point...

...that while it may be hard to prosecute them for the wheeling and dealing, it is not hard at all to prosecute them for obviously lying to Congress and investigators. As he says, if they can put Martha Stewart in jail for what she did, then it's a no-brainer to prosecute some of these guys.
