The funniest thing about this debacle is the sight of financial and corporate types requesting help from the humble taxpayer to bail them out from their excesses of the past few years .
Can you believe the hypocrisy ? These people made billions out of everyone, now everybody has to pay through the nose to keep the system going .
Now don't get me wrong I think capitalism is good , and I do understand that we can't let the system fail because we will all suffer very badly .
But can we not at least get to put all financial advisers in stocks so we can pelt them with rotten eggs and tomatoes ?
Not just the the guys who sold Ninja (no income no job) mortgages , but also the bright sparks who then sold off the risk to the rest of the world . The idiots who bought the products and the Credit rating agencies who deemed these financial products to be AAA rated , meaning bulletproof .
Where's Muldoon ? His hero George Bush is close to finishing his eight year term where he has presided over a disastrous war and now the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression . I'm waiting Doon , for us to continue those discussions we used to have . Where are you ?
