The people in goverment who actually want to represent the American people can probably be counted on one hand. The sheep just keep reelecting the same people that have s@rewed over them. Go figure.

Well sure everyone rush out and vote for FOUR MORE years of the most FAILED Economic Policy in US HISTORY!! We have heard the line from the Republican''s for much to long. They have failed us, they have failed completely and do not deserve to be re-elected... No our children demand that they not be re-elected.

This is a disgusting outrage. It is a crime against reason and decency. These bankers need to be in prison, not receiving another $200 billion handout. Right now Americans are too weak to save their own country, but the day may come when we hold the power, Against that day, the most useful thing we can do is to begin taking the names of those who betray America, listing their crimes, so the future generations can take vengeance. Is there a website? Now its important just to make sure the accusations arent lost in the fog of history. These crimes cannot go unpunished.

If a kid steals a candy bar in a store, we throw the book at him. When Ben Bernanke and his cohorts steal TRILLIONS of dollars, they cannot, they must not, go unpunished. Or law and order mean nothing.

Actually jwind11 we should blame you.

It''s your personality cult that has absolved and justifies every error, mistake and crime by Bush has committed that has led us to the mess we are in today.

Bush is such an obviously deeply flawed sociopath and psychological cripple that it doesn''t even need mentioning. YOUR impulsive need to protect him by preemptively attacking someone who MIGHT point out that his actions have negative consequences is quite remarkable to witness. But of course what you''re really defending is your own fragile (and false) world view.

I''ve actually had conservatives (in complete seriousness) tell me that Bush has never made an error (ever, in his entire life) and is not responsible for anything that has occurred over the last 7 years. Like most things conservative these days "Bush Derangement Syndrome" is simply a projection of their personal faults onto others.

And I''ll bet the top tier of excutives at Bear Stearns are still taking home their gluttonous salaries at the end of the day. God forbid they take a pay cut!

[johngoodnews]

Let''s see: Carlyle Capital (oh, that''s where the Bush family''s money is, and a lot of Saudi dollars, and..well, you get it) can''t repay its loans, and so, oops, Bear Stearns can''t repay it''s loans, and oops, Bush is all for invoking a Depression-era bank bailout law, and oops, maybe the other Depression=era laws==like separating investment and commercial banks==shouldn''t have been repealed. And ooops, maybe when folks start a run on their bank it''s because things aren''t very rosy...and ooops, maybe all those 401k and other retirement plans will get paid pennies on the dollar in bankruptcy...and ooops, ya gotta love them neoliberal (no regulation!) free market advocates in the Bush administration==except they''re first in line with there hands out. Ya gotta luv it.

USA -- socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor.

Banks need to fail if they made bad decisions. What they need to do is sell of some of the marble, granite and brass, high price materials they use to build such elaborate structures. Maybe reduce the "brick and mortars" and become one of those internet banks in order to bail themselves out.
