State banks is the answer to decentralizing control of this country in the hands of the bankers. North Dakota has the only state-owned bank in the nation and they have money for their people. Imagine that. The money made and saved by having a state-owned bank is providing money for the men, women, and children of ND. What a concept. They are not going into poverty and pulling programs from their elder, sick, and vulnerable to GIVE billions of dollars to 400 of America's most wealthy leeches. .
When the govt doesnt hold theives accountable, then the people must. Beware, we know who you are, you dont fool the majority of us and we will take care of this one way or another. I bet they are hoping we will move on and not prosecute them, there are worse things then jail.
When you have strong correlations between the corporate world and government, you have a corporate-fascist plutocracy. Systemic corruption is too deeply rooted into the system now to change it. Doesn't matter who you have in office. Not even Ron Paul could change it. The whole thing has to come down for any hope of change. This will eventually happen. But then what system takes its place is probably what we have to worry about.
"Avoidable catastrophe." Similar language with 911 investigations. One has to wonder if the two are related. The only attack on US soil every, with the exception of Pearl Harbor and WW2, then immediately after these financial schemes begin? We all know this financial crisis was purposeful, it's not much of a leap to believe 911 was as well.
Where are the leaders in congress and the whitehouse publicly demanding the prosecution of these criminals? The absence of this alone is most disturbing.
I agree that the Federal Reserve corporation needs to be investigated and brought to criminal trial but any discussion of the bubble blowout that fails to mention Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Democratic party constantly protecting those GSE's is a completely phony discussion. Proof:

I used to be a support of Spitzer but this is one of the reasons why I turned against him, he is just another party shill.
@ReliableInsider I know a troll when I smell one. Go do some research instead of bothering grown ups. And don't curse at me when you don't get your way-that's what babies do. Glenn Beck's parents were brother and sister, why would I be a fan of his drivel?
I'm a NY state resident. I know Spitzers history. He used to make a grand show of going after business people which were very appealing to populism but the truth is that too many of his cases were politically driven.
@kmg501 So what? If he takes down criminals why should your perception of his motivations make any difference? If a politician does a great job for the sole purpose of enhancing his legacy, why should you care? If a man does the right thing because he wants to be seen as a good person, what does it matter? We are what we do in this world. Our deeds define our lives. Everything else isn't worth mentioning.
If a prosecutor wants to get my vote TODAY, in the current climate, by running around putting criminals behind bars who happen to wear expensive suits and work in the financial services industry . . .
he's got my vote.
In the good old days, we put people behind bars for stealing ten dollars and if they stole ten million, we'd pat them on the back and give them an ambassadorship. At the risk of sounding like a populist, it's time for those days to be over.
AS LONG THEY ARE NOT PROSECUTED - THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. THESECRIMINALS NEED TO GO TO JAIL AND THEY NEED TO GO NOW! THIS WAS TREASON - THEY SHOULD BE EXECUTED.
ralph nader promised to prosecute these gangs on wall street, but the zionist controlled media blocked him from the debates and censored him from the msm..what a shame he would have been great...nader 2012
@davidperi Because the taxpayers do nothing to stop it unlike the citizens of other countries who hit the streets and force the government out or to make prosecutions..
Is anyone else sick to death with, "Sorry, but our time is running out", or "Sorry, but our time is up" when a VERY important discussion is under way???
The plutocratic ruling elite (such as Greenspan & Bush family) bribe politicians, elect their own into office & take over the regulatory agencies. They corrupt the entire political system & manipulate it from within to increase their profit & power. Once they've redistributed the wealth into their banks & corporations, they turn around & complain that the govt (which they now control) is doing too much & is corrupt (because they corrupted it). This is fascism where big biz controls the govt.
The financial crisis was ENGINEERED and is the result of MANIPULATION..... GEORGE SOROS should be in PRISON... The Rockefellas, Rothschilds, etc.. they all should be in PRISON
@AssholeBlogger because I love george soros..he donated to fight bush in 2000, he donated to legualize marijuana, he did a foreword to a book I thoroughly enjoyed about the effect of climate change....
The sad fact is that a lot of the random websites on the Internet are complete bullshit.
When you Google something, you get a ton of information, but most of it's false. The next step is to determine which of the sites are complete bullshit and which ones are actually credible sources of accurate information.
There are reliable sources out there, but there are also more sources of complete bullshit than at any time in human history ranging all the way from the local kook to propaganda mills like the Heritage Foundation and Fox "News" owned and operated by billionaires for the benefit of billionaires.
The truth is probably more frightening than what we know, Judges and most of the politicians were probably paid off. I would be willing to bet the when Paulson called the banks in to make that deal in QE #1 they probably got exemption slips from prosecution. Just a Theory.
@oJKBo Fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, bribery and intimidation of federal officials, racketeering... if these guys weren't running Washington, the FBI would be having a field day.
@oJKBo From Wikipedia: "Traditionally, the word racket is used to describe a business (or syndicate) that is based on the example of the protection racket and indicates a belief that it is engaged in the sale of a solution to a problem that the institution itself creates or perpetuates, with the specific intent to engender continual patronage." They create the bad loans, sell them as good prospects for investments, then bet against them, and encourage their friends to bet against them.
what's that? truth and real news? Dammit HURRY UP and get to the commercial break.
