The problem is so big now that I doubt any austerity program would work. None of the politicians would vote for it anyway.

The lobbying will continue, the pressure on politicians to play along will increase, the bailouts will get bigger and the crashes more spectacular. They are coming for your money and they’re going to get it. All of the people who engineered the MBS/CDO/CDS scam are sitting on their government-bailout zillions and laughing at you. They sleep well at night in their Long Island mansions or on their megayachts in the Mediterranean, they know they will never go to jail, and the next crowd of goons is going to be even more bold. They know nothing will happen to them.

Both of us marveled at the idea, neither ever having lived in Minneapolis, but since that day, I’ve always been thinking I’d like to check it out a little more, tough winters and all.[/quote]

There are a lot of great places in the center of the country. That said, I think a big factor is that someone who is well established may be very hesitant to relocate to a location that is perceived as having a much higher cost of living. If you’re a 50 year old executive with kids in college, do you really want to start over in some place that’s twice as expensive to live in and probably has insanely expensive real estate relative to where you live?

[quote=pri_dk]What’s your point CONCHO?

Are we supposed to be shocked that Jon Stewart’s brother is a corporate exec?

Not a surprise: Jon has mentioned it on his show a few times.

If you wanna aspire to be like Glen Beck – using innuendo and guilt by association to expose the enemy – you gotta do better than that.[/quote]

I’m not aspiring to be like anyone, I’m just pointing out that to believe that any of these people on TV would give a crap about regular people is silly. Like George Carlin used to say, “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.”
