So, where does the taxpayer fit in? NOWHERE! So, where does the working middle class American fit in? REALLY-NOWHERE! So, where do the hardworking Americans who lost half there retirement savings fit in? NOWHERE! This transfer of wealth continues to remain in the hands of the richest Americans who destroyed the economy of this nation!
This is a Wall Street Financial Crime Syndicate takeover of wealth.
thanks for reading, jerry

Both political partys are organized crime syndicates who protect those that pay them tribute while the sheeple are fed bread and circus while Rome burns.
SOD--I tsure appears that way. The banking crime syndicate placed enough pressure on 12 Democrats to defeat Sen. Durbin's amendment that would have helped families save their homes through bankruptcy court. The bankstas did not like the idea of the home's principal being cut, which would affect their collateral.
Damn the working American. Protect the financial crime syndicate, since they now control Congress and government.
Durbin spelled it out days ago by saying the Banks own Capit(al)Hill, and of course he's so right. They don't even bother to hide it anymore. I'm living in Bizzaro World where wrong is right, and cheaters always win. The amazing thing to me is that even after doing everything in their power to continue this corrupt system, today we find that these same institutions need more capital from the American Taxpayers, and they will receive it by way of their Toadys on Capit(al) Hill.
Check this out, but don't drink or eat anything while watching this video. You may choke to death, and I can't have that on my hands. I give you the Inspector General of The Federal Reserve. You will not believe it:
Is Anyone Minding The Store At The Federal Reserve?

hello SPECTRE---
The Federal Reserve's Inspector General sure comes off really inept and stupid. She is a puppet. There is much bad news to come this year. The under/unemployment rate will take down much of it. The span of workers is tumbling. The rate of foreclosures will add more trouble to the bankster's balance sheets. Industrial production, industrial capacity, consumer spending, will all tumble harder. China, as well, will likely experience much of what we are in the midst of. They, too, have low interest rates, and a huge debt based economy. They will have an over-production problem.
thanks for coming back. jerry
Here's a chart I hope you find interesting. It is no longer valid although very timely because the Public Debt has now surpassed $61 Trillion Dollars and GDP has shrunk at the same time. The latest info from April 29, 2009 for Current Dollar GDP from the BEA stands at $14 Trillion. I won't calculate the spike because we might fall on it. :>)!

Concerning the judges not being allowed to amend mortgage contracts, I have been thinking that the real way to go after the banksters is not through judicial power that Judges won't want to give up in the future, but rather through the legal system suing these institutions because they failed in their fiduciary duties by not performing mandated safegaurds as required by law. In fact it can be shown that 22 of the top 25 wholesale mortgage lenders are/or were either owned or part own by the very same banks now needing bailouts. In fact they went to far as to form their own appraisal services to make sure the number always came in. They, the Cops, might want to think of RICO on the criminal side, and servere damages for the destruction of so many lives that can be easily documented on the civil side.
Any lawyer out there worth his salt should be licking chops on a class action law suit for all the damaged partys. Hit the bastards where it hurts, their wallets and their new digs called a cell.
One other item, the FED'S Lacker says that the worst of the manufacturing slump is over, but does the FED know that the auto makers and therefore their suppliers are about to get a summer break just like the K - 12 crowd? Just asking?
SPECTRE, HELLO, Thanks for your comments. I believe that lawyers are already suing financial planners for failing to protect the investments of their clients. My guess that if lawyers believe they can make a few thousand bucks suing the bankstas, assessors, appraisers, and lenders who inflated market prices in order to sell homes to lowly qualifying buyers, they will.
The fools trying to downplay the real news will never apologize to the public when the economy erodes even further. As workers of all skill levels see their jobs disappear, more homes will go into foreclosure or short sold by the banks, and consumers realize that saving money is their only hope, as well as pay down their debts, commercial bankruptcies will be realized, properties will be empty, state and local taxes will begin to further disappear, industrial production will evaporate, jobs will be further cut, salaries reduced, hours cut, industrial capacity slowed, and inventories either piling up or going flat leading into an inflationary cycle. And, China will face the same problems.
thanks, jerry
