[quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=briansd1]What’s beyond comprehension to me is that many of those who are upset about TARP and Fed bailout, feel that, now that we are faced with a fait accompli, the banks should not be regulated or taxed in return for what we, as a country, did for them.
The banks essentially got a free ride.[/quote]
Brian: This is a combination of a strawman (“many of those who are upset about TARP… should not be regulated…”: Who, exactly are you speaking of?) and what appears to be willful ignorance of the fact that regulations do in fact exist and that additional regulations (post-fall 2008), such as Dodd-Frank have not been implemented with any vigor.
It appears you’re trying to toe the populist/Progressive line, while at the same time trying to ignore the fact that both Dems and GOP are complicit in not only the looting of America, but in the cover-up as well.
I’m especially interested in the deafening silence surrounding Jon Corzine and the implosion of MF Global (ever wonder what the “MF” stands for?), which includes $1.2B of missing funds.
Here’s a nifty YouTube clip of Joe Biden with Jon Corzine, wherein Biden references he and Obama calling Corzine for economic advice and touting Corzine as one of the “smartest guys he knows”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm3VMrKqJSA
All politicians, regardless of stripe or affiliation, are lying shitbags. What further proof do you need?[/quote]
