DISQUS

almm · 1 year ago

hey Chris,
don't you ever get tired of being negative all the time. I know that there is a lot of bad out there, in the US and worldwide, but the sky is really not falling, there are some good things in the world, so why are you always, always on the negative part s of life? Lighten up sometimes, we know there is crap happening, but to continually carp on all the bad times, bad stories, it gets old.

So Chris is supposed to be like George W. Bush and Dick Cheney....lie about how good things are!

I enjoy Chris's posts. He's seeing the corruption of the United States through an unfiltered viewpoint. I love my country but I hate how the news we have here is tainted by the corruption of sucking up and ass kissing.

I hope Chris can keep posting these gems daily because the American prople are just now waking up to the nightmare that they have been systematically screwed for decades by both the government as well as the banks. Under any administration be it Republican or Democrat, for lawmakers to simply look the other way along with regulators while three card monty is being played with US tax dollars is outrageous and yet the MSM barely gives these flagrant financial wrecks any traction. A story here and there won't change anything and at best, those of us who read these blogs seem to suffer more from apathy rather than wanting to change the system. That's the sad thing about the last two generations. The saddest thing however, is knowing that theft has been going on for years and then not doing anything about it like writing to members of the Senate Banking Committee or your Congressman. If this is the best way to get the word out, then I sincerely hope Chris and others keep it up until we can effect meaningful chnage in a financial system that is corrupt beyond belief.

This Disqus system sucks. It took 2 hours to get an account going and then it wouldn't work, and I had to wait 12 hours for their "instant" reply to fix the problem. Anyone having trouble with this system who can't post yet, have courage... send them a message and wait for an "instant" reply to arrive tomorrow.

It coult be worse. If Disqus was a Microsoft product you would've had to PAY for that service and probably wait twice as long for them to tell you about the undocumented features. .

Hi Shirley,

I apologize if it took a while to respond. We've been receiving a lot of growth lately but we're trying our best to keep up.

I hope everything is working out for you now.

The middle class is being siponed down the drain.

And these are "loans" which will go bad, with taxpayers picking up the tab.

You can't put lipstick on this pig...

If everything was going so well in financial land, you have to wonder why Paulsons former firms CEO at Goldman Sachs decided to dump 5.2 million shares yesterday. Sounds like another rat getting ready to leave a sinking ship. Story atwww.CBSmarketwatch,com

It's at times like this when the average working stiff with at least two functioning brain cells to rub together begins to think that we're deliberately being pushed into either a second Gilded Age or a 21st Century feudal state...

Bear Stearns gave away billions in bonuses in JANUARY. If they had been forced to declare bankrupcy, those bonuses would have had to be given back. Instead, the american people get stuck paying the tab for the mistakes made by greedy bankers. Or were they really mistakes?

"The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists." - Ernest Hemingway

Unlike commercial banks, brokerage firms are NOT regulated and with the central banks doors open to brokerage firms, the central bank is ripe for pillaging. Where is the outrage? Where is the oversight? Halliburton has been allowed to pillage at will - will the brokerage firms be allowed the same....it's shaping up the way. The Dems have got to start screaming about this....sure the Repugs will say its all about saving the ecomony....but that's just a thin disguise for bailing out multi millionaires at taxpayer expense with dire long term consequences.
