I remember now when Democrats got together with banks and dreamed up sub-prime mortgages and credit default swaps to get houses for poor folks. You just can't help some people.

Rick Santelli becomes a volcanic rock? Is that what you're really going with? Man, that is some rant. Perhaps the first time in history a person has turned to stone by vitriol.

How many of you supported the banks when they tricked those people into buying those mortgeges and forced millions of americans to loose their homes, and then not get criminally prosectuted for it? and then how many of you blem the president in turn? Like this comment!
Republican party are you listening?

I think he said the whole point. The NEW administration that hd only been in office for a month at that point. When will conservatives stop expecting you to clean uop an eight year mess in a short period ofm time? Really pisses me off!

@whoraps "It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance." -Murray Rothbard
That is all I have to say to you.

Just raise the tax on the rich already. We the (Lazy workers) are screwed anyhow, they will just raise prices and fees, at least with the new taxes we can trim the debt. The poor and middle class are fckd regardless.
To banks:
Thanks for the new 15$ fee coming in two months, after we bailed you out, you pathetic fcks! I'll be by soon to move my money to a credit union. And that 15$ a month? I think ill spend it at a local merchant, the ones you can't rob anymore.
@thompk12 Let the banks fail and let capitalism take it's course.

I think you are wonderful. Keep speaking out for us. Don't let the administration sway you. You are right. This is BULL SHIT on the Obama side. Houses need to come down.Let the second mortgagers and banks fail. They deserve it. They all knew what they were doing. I don't feel sorry for a one of them. They all had their hand in the cookie jar and got caught. The hell with them. Let them all start over. Thanks Rick. Keep speaking out for us.I want some money from the gov. too.
