The Banking situation

[kevinbear]

Watch the video, it's hard to believe this was on MSNBC, not typical for their news shows.

Don't worry were from the government and were here to help. I'm surprised they finally have the guts to say these things in the news but its to little to late for us the gum-mints personal ATM. The scum bags who still think their going to get more free shit and are just waiting for the big check to show up for their efforts by keeping them in office. Screw it, I'm going to let my mortgage slip so I can get on the gravy train before they run out of the free money. Can't let the illegals get it all.

You're right - that was very unlike MSNBC. Otherwise, are supposed to be surprised? When this first hit fan in '08 my reaction to credit default swaps was "They did what?!" but after that it got old hat. My only question is, why isn't somebody in jail? Or hung in a basement?

Becasue the Democrats need all the votes they can get Thats also why the illegal issue is next on the aggenda, gotta buy them votes.

I'm thinking the bankers are likely republicans, but maybe not. And the illegal issue is another tough nut to crack, and even a lot (maybe a majority) of democrats will call bullshit on some of the proposals, so I'll be stunned if much happens. Toss in more partisan bickering and the electorate will tell 'em all to shut the f*** up.
