Economic home grown terrorists

I'm a mellow person, but I find myself getting more and more enraged by the "bail-out" everyday. I watched some of the inquiries on these CEOs that systematically planned and diabolically put into action the demise of the national financial system and eventually the world. It sounds like a bad Austin Powers episode but it actually happened...hmm...700 trillion dollars I say with my little finger up. Can you spell credit default swaps? I'm tired of these jackasses getting congressional slaps on the wrist. I want jail and scandal. I want assets..even hidden ones confiscated. And I want them out...they have already demonstrated that they are failures to the world. And they steal. Did you check out the half million dollar retreat by the AIG pigs...poor babies are stressed. Well at least the congress in all their infinite wisdom doesn't have to worry about a solvent social security. Most of our hard earned investments are out the door so we can never retire. I blame all politicians for not doing the thing they have been entrusted to do...protect the people. If I behaved like these collected unprofessional non talents...I would be fired. If I stole from my clients...I would be arrested. I guess they are above the law.

Just think how this would be if Bush had successfully privatized Social Security his first term! Ponzi scheme, anyone?

I keep telling myself, this too shall pass. My Ohio property taxes are going up and the appraisal on the house went up $7K; this is after last year's doubling of my KY property tax. Fat chance of selling right now, or retiring this decade.

Here here y'all. Kids are grown so I planned an early retirement..had it down to more than a dream with the equity in my home. I was going to do a semi-retirement, work part time and pay outright for a little place in Florida near my sister and Mom. I'm old and deserve an easier life. Then this crap and I know I won't be able to sell for a long while...so may as well still work and collect the higher salary. I have/had a pension that I have no idea if it still exists. I can't get it yet, so maybe it'll rebound. Oh and the ijit school board where I live wants more tax dollars on home owners. NC finally got an "educational" lottery so where's the beef? These boneheads bicker constantly and have even developed some racial conflicts all to the embarrassment of the folks who live here. Can't get blood out of a turnip, and don't know shit from shinola. Where are all the sane people...I'm tired of this dumbing down of the country infiltrating into every facet of existence...leave my cash alone.

Britain has the idea...some COE's head will roll. Future bonuses to be limited ,loans to small businesses and homeowners to start.
