Interesting comment by former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich yesterday. He noted that in 1980 the top 1 percent of U.S. earners took home just 8 percent of the total earning of the nation and today the top 1 percent took home 20 percent of the total U.S. earnings. The last time the top 1 percent took home 20 percent was 1928.

Maybe Cramer has a reason for his comments - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uoSLVCEGKko

We won''t. The republican congressman today during the hearings tried to raise that very question about Fannie & Freddie but Waxman (Democratic chairman of the committee) said no.

[talk2chief]

When are we going to have hearings on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac''''s role in the financial crisis?

Contact your congressman and demand a hearing. Let''''s see which politicians really represent the American taxpayer and the middle class.

The Democrats put this in place 70yrs ago and the Republican have been trying to tear it down ever since and i think they have got the job done now.

The failure of an economy is a failure of the system, and not solely attributable to the presidency. America''s economy is so huge, no one person can cause such incomprehensible damage that we are now seeing. Even Bin Laden failed to make 9/11 the death torch in destroying our economy. Surprisingly, most Americans fail to look at the other three suspects. First, the Democratic-controlled congress, under whose watch the sub-prime housing loans proliferated. Second, the stupid investment banks, whose basic knowledge of economics was overruled by their own personal greed. And third, the consumer who lacked the common sense to understand that you should not buy what you cannot afford.

The tendency to blame the current administration is common reaction, and the Obama camp is profiting from it. My advise to those who think that Obama is their saviour,is GET REAL! Get to know the real Obama, and ask yourself if you know him well enough. Who were his closest friends? What has he accomplished?

There should be checks and balances in our government. An Obama win will make the democratic-controlled congress a rubber-stamp congress, which is exactly what happened in Dubya%u2019s first term. So, if Americans want more of the same failures in government, then go ahead and elect Obama. Don%u2019t be fooled by charm and sweet promises. Dubya had the same qualities that made him get elected in the first place. Vote wisely, like it is your last.

Like our dipchitt employees in Congress did not know that the piece of krap they voted for would not actually do a bit of good. They were trying to save their own investments.

Vote out all of them who defied you and voted for this bailout.

Perhaps the markets are reacting to Paulson''''s announcement that he is hiring a former Goldman-Sachs exec to oversee the bailout program.

I don''t remember voting for that. Do you?

When did our government lose ALL sense of accountability to the people?

Come November, I intend to REMIND THEM.

Hey, Mister! Can we have our $700bn back?

"Socialism and the Government pressing banks to give low-income high risk loans sure helped break America''''s back."

If you think what is going on is socialism then you have not read Marx. As for loans to the poor being the problem - you have not read the news for the past 30 years. Neoconservative deregulation and globalization have led to the sell out of the American economy to the highest bidders. Just do an inventory of all the non-perishable goods you have bought over the past few months. Whatever is not made in the U.S. represents money you send overseas. You have been sold out by your neocon leaders. Be honest and admit it to yourself and then try to figure out what to do about it. When you finally get to that point I''ll be glad to jump back into the discussion.

maybe next time stupid americans vote on substance and issues, rather than hype, TV image and smears.

Tap: The trick is to get any of them to talk about substance and issues and we really dont vote here. Im sure the election is all ready decided. They just go through the motions to humor us.

Thank Unions for China!

"The fundamentals of our economy are strong."



Straight talker John McCain said that 22 times this year!

"Pope: Meltdown Shows Money Is "Nothing""


Says the autocratic ruler of one of the worlds'' most wealthy, and most secretive organizations--a gerontocracy of sexually disfunctional males.

So plow the Vatican''s billions into helping the world''s economy, Pope!

We sure could use it.
