"We put a thousand elite bankers in jail"

[jtuck004]

Bill Black at OWS, talking about the results of the S&L crisis of years past. You can listen to it here.

To put it in perspective, as he says, the control fraud that brought us our current crisis was 70 TIMES the size of that scandal. 2 million documented cases of fraud, the vast majority mortgage originators who put the "liar" in "liar's loan". And no one has gone to jail. Yet.

Instead we let them sit in their offices and laugh at the people in the parks, at the Marine laying in the hospital.

Maybe we can work on that.

1. You might get Jon Corzine.

Personally I think it's sad.

3. I don't give a whit for Corzine

I remember the scene in the movie 9/11 where he is laughing at the Black Representatives who are pleading for an investigation and no one in the Senate will lend their signature to their petition.

Fuck him. I hope he goes to prison.

4. You are mad at him over a scene from a movie?

How do you know that part wasn't fictionalized?

5. It was a Video from a session of the US Senate with Al Gore presiding.

It had to do with the stolen election in Florida and elsewhere that put Bush II on the Throne.

Not faked at all.

Corzine was openly laughing at them. The man is an insensitive Prick.

7. There is more,

so I posted this one.

I would very much like to see a few thousands of those people behind bars. I think it would go a long ways towards rebuilding our national mood while the homeless and unemployed, suffering from the effects of this ongoing crime, rebuild their lives.
