How CONservatives run the economy:

Step 1: deregulate to the point the economy becomes a ponzi scheme and collapses, creating a huge budget crisis.

Step 2: Blame libruls, unions, average americans.

Step 3: Take the pensions, homes, tax dollars of average americans to "fix the budget crisis".

Step 4: Repeat.

Excellent point by Cenk. Had Madoff only stole from working class people, he'd be a free man. But he fucked with the rich, and that was the signing of his death warrant.

It is time for a Resource Based Economy!

They don't go to jail because they control both major political parties. WAKE UP!!!

Capitalism sucks cock.

[Symbolism07]

Yeah, as they said in the only reason why Madoff didn't get away with it because he stole from the rich, judges and most importantly JEWS. Had it been average inidividuals it would've been swept under the rug. This Madeoff is very close to the Rothschild and The Morgan.

Whats stopping anyone from making a case now?? Just go get em damnit!

@normalais

Let me guess, you think that so-called liberals had nothing to do with deregulation. You also think that Obama loves you and is fighting Wall Street.

You also think that humans are capable of regulating a fiat money system, based on historical evidence.

At least you have your fantasies to hide in. That must be nice.

Once again, TYT presents symptoms of a problem as if they were the actual problem.

@truthmouthpiece2 How about a simple government assisted class action civil suit? Simply sue the bastards after they've actually committed fraud and compensate their victims with the settlement. Instead of trying to predict bad behavior and prevent it's possibility with arbitrary regulations, AND THEN because the regulations are easy to avoid, allow defrauders to walk because they expose the futility of arbitrary regulations - punish those who commit fraud and make whole their victims.
