Elyse, You are amazingly right on target. I love what you said. You sound and write exactly like me.THANK YOU for your political outrage toward our horrible, runaway institutionalized greed, today. YES, ours is a dirty, rotten Congress and their getting richer thanks to the secretive Lobby thugs and their money. YOU GO GIRL. (Sherry,Sarasota, Florida)

Contrary to the old saying that goes, “what we have here is a failure to communicate” is the banks feet were not held to fire to reduce principal with the money they received or even to modify loans. In fact, they did the opposite, they increased foreclosures, knowing they had bad paper, to try to get out in front of their fraud, forgery, etc. before the public discerned what they had actually done. Like many people caught with their hands in the cookie jar, they lied and manipulated to cover their tracks.
So what we have here is a major mess now and no sympathy to bail them out again. They are busy as little cats covering their – – – – trying to pay off investors, Attorney Generals, Democrat and GOP candidates to look the other way and let them go on their merry way!
ARE WE GOING TO LET THEM?
Go to the NY Times, Washington Post, local newspapers, write letters, contact politicians (they are afraid of you and public opinion) We just need to use the power we have! Write the writers of those columns that expose this mess and lift up their arms in support. Don’t just complain here, do something!

Everyone should have to watch that clip every morning before going off to school, work, pick up the social check, collect the drug money. Whatever folks do in the morning the first thing, watch this clip……

qny81, The people must check and see what these politicians investments are, and WHO contributes to their campaigns….There is a list out there that tells who the politicians and Congress members are that GOT FILTHY STINKING RICH OFF THE STOCK MARKET CRASH in 08….there are traitors in our midst…All of the tax breaks in this country go to the wealthiest that do not need it and it is designed that way…..so we never get ahead…Republican/Democrat all a sham and a fraud…They are bought or members of the big club. Do your homework America…these crooked politicians are getting wealthier and wealthier off of the demise of MAINSTREET…

As I have mentioned before, AMERICA was not created to operate like a business….it was created to allow her citizens to grow to our full potential!! To give us the freedoms our forefathers were not allowed in Europe….so they came here, to find a better life…and it was working!! I don’t know when the decision was made by these coorupt business people to be allowed to LOBBY our elected officials….but if the LOBBYISTS are STOPPED from going anywhere near our representitives to offer the bribes of educating their children, buy a new mansion, give a fabulous new pool in their backyard and not to mention the CASH given to vote for their interest and not ours, things could change!! Nothing will change if nothing changes and these outragous practices allowed to LOBBYISTS is brining down AMERICA!!!!

Ron Paul wants the good for the people right now…however…think about how it all changes when they get into their new position!! And it never fails!! The Lobbyists are like cockroaches in Washington and no one is even talking about them???? HELLO PEOPLE???

Ron Paul has had his chances to “call-out” Bernanke’s lies and has said nothing.
I think I’m going to write in Mr Potato Head for President. Couldn’t be any worse than the current or any other prospective occupant of 1600 Penn Ave.
