This is a RUSE (counterfeit) CBS Comments page. Only people who actually SUBMIT an opinion or comment can see any of these comments. And if they migrate away to another webpage afterwards, they cannot get back to this so-called ''comments'' page where these opinions are posted, UNLESS they submit another opinion. The only way to access this ''comments'' page is to submit an opinion. 99 percent of the article readers do not submit opinions, but like me, they want to read other''s comments. So 99.99 percent of the people who read the subject article cannot see your comments. Your opinion has, for all practical purposes, been completely stifled, silenced, censored, smothered, muzzled, gagged, suffocated by CBS. YOU''VE BEEN DUPED ... SUCKER-PUNCHED right out of the ring. Shuttled off to a sound-proof booth where essentially no one can hear you. When I submit an opinion I want the same audience the article had or why bother. Like most people, I''m not interested in being shuttled off to a sound-proof booth where my opinion is effectively muzzled, silenced. Here you are talking to empty seats. What good is it to have a "Readers'' Comments" section when there is no realistic way for readers of the article to access the comments? CBS is defrauding you with a ruse, counterfeit comments webpage.

2008 won''t be remembered as the year that the economy unsuspected slipped out of control. 2008 will be known as the pinnacle in a series of years of unleashed greed.

Money doesn''t disappear. It was either never there, or somebody took it. We were robbed folks.

First there was the war in Iraq, and I''m not saying we shouldn''t defend our country. I''m talking about the unnecessary billions in expenditures that the defense contractors and sub contractors took from the American taxpayers pocket.

Then there were the skyrocketing gas prices. Didn''t the oil companies realize how devastating it would be to commerce to take away almost all of America''s extra spending money? Now far fewer of us can afford to take vacations, buy cars or fancy electronic devices.

Third there were all the savings accounts and retirements stolen from millions of us because money lenders went nuts and started giving money away to any one just for the closing points.

Next there was the $700,000,000,000.00 buy-out which again was snatched from the taxpayers pockets and went right to the same people who robbed us.

This will also be known the year that the cash "torch" was passed from "Greenspan" to "Cashkary". You can''t make this stuff up.

Evidently, the human species isn''t ready for the honor system quite yet. I vote for freedom, security and stability through accountability.

Feds Want Madoff Locked Up Without Bail

Madoff will never see a day behind bars. He will comit sucide before he goes to jail and I will bet a McDonalds Cheese Burger on that with anybody !

Yeah, you are probably right. What they whould do is grab him, ship him off to Cuba, hook him up to a polygragh, Waterboard him to find out where the money is, take it all, return it to those he screwed over, and then bring him before a firing squad!

We should not tolerate anything less!

Just because it was the super rich that he skreweled, they want to put him in jail. They didn''t suggest this with Ken Lay, or any of the others who just stole from the middle class.Once again, superior justice for the wealthy!

Locked up without bond. Never happen.

The federal jails are full of prostitutes and massage parlor operators. From seeing the feds actions, you would think *** was a sin and stealing was not. If you going to regulate morality, it least look at the Bible you reference for clarification.

I can''t wait to see the spin. Madoff will find Jesus, donate a $100 million to sick children and walk away with billions. Obama will pardon Bernie at the end of his first and final term when Obama loses to Jeb Bush in 2012.

I just can''t help but wonder how many of these folks running to the government for help NOW, in this matter, are the same folks who have banged the "get the government out of our lives" drum in the past.
And how many of ''em enthusiastly voted for:
"Government isn''t the solution to the problem, government is the problem"
..... Ronnie Raygun.

[Madoff''s lawyer, Ira Sorkin, described the items as heirlooms that included cufflinks and antique watches. Sorkin said they were not significant assets. ]

not signifigant? then bernie and his family won''t miss them.

in years to come they can all tell the story of uncle bernie and how he screwed everyone ... including the family ... with his stupidity.

Hey people, the MAXIMUM TIME that MADOFF can get IF HE IS CONVICTED is 10 years and a 5 million dollar fine, thanks to the hard work of the lobbyists who have gotten our corrupt SEC to rewrite the laws for securities fraud. http://tinyurl.com/5qm3hm
10 years! MAX! 5 million dollars, MAX! Parole in 5 years!! http://tinyurl.com/a7us4y
If you STILL don''t realize how corrupt our government has become, and how very, very little it will actually do to punish those responsible for these massive crimes, you are too stupid to be walking around without supervision. The fix for Madoff is already in! Just get a judge to impose a lighter sentence than the 10 years he is supposed to get. Lawyers already discussing it: http://www.slate.com/id/2206967/
And Madoff is just a distraction from the REAL theft: 7.7 TRILLION DOLLARS given to Wall Street Banks http://tinyurl.com/96a7s4 like Citi group, which paid CEO Charles Prince 68 MILLION DOLLARS IN 2007, and paid new CEO Vikram Pandit 274 MILLION DOLLARS in 2008 And Bank of America which bought Countrywide Financial who paid CEO Angelo Mozilo 37.5 MILLION DOLLARS in 2007
We are being completely robbed, people! Our country is being rapidly bankrupted by these thieving parasites on Wall Street and NOBODY IS EVEN BEING CHARGED WITH A CRIME! These thieves are just using our money to throw parties: http://tinyurl.com/562moo

They''re paying for their fourth and fifth luxury home: http://tinyurl.com/5qf7cu

How much longer are we going to tolerate this?

They''re only rich because they''ve stolen our money by manipulating gasoline prices:

Food and Drink prices:

And by taking 7.7 Trillion dollars of our tax money and giving it to their Wall Street parasite parents:

Also being used to pay for their fourth and fifth luxury homes: http://tinyurl.com/5qf7cu

And taxpayer funded parties: http://tinyurl.com/562moo

The Madoff theft is on the front page, because the REAL money on Wall Street does not want the news focused on the 7.7 TRILLION DOLLARS our federal government has given to Wall STreet banks in the last 3 months, as those parasites are frantically preparing to extract that money from their banks and put it in their pockets.

You''ve really got to read this article by the Washington Post. http://tinyurl.com/6emukq

This top-rated piece of investigative reporting shows that Wall Street took BILLIONS out of each of our pockets by cornering the Oil markets in 2008, controlling 81 percent of all oil contracts in the world. They plan to do the same in 2009. This story was ignored by CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, CNN.

Cut and paste this and pass it on.

http://tinyurl.com/6emukq

As the article points out, these same Wall Street firms plan to do the same thing to the price of everything we eat or drink, using the same cheap money they are getting from our treasury, in 2009.

Why are we paying to keep these firms in business?

Why are our taxes being used to keep them operating?

They aren''t lending money to real businesses, they aren''t helping our economy, they simply aren''''t necessary for America...they are only used by the very richest parasites who are destroying our country and dictating its policies by buying out our government.
