Introduction to the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission

The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission is a bipartisan commission that has been given a critical non-partisan mission — to examine the causes of the financial crisis that has gripped the country and to report our findings to the Congress, the President, and the American people.

Hopefully, the Commission's work can help rebuild the American people's belief in a financial system that puts Americans to work, fulfills their goals and provides the foundation for a new era of broadly shared prosperity.

To ensure that the Commission’s ongoing investigation and the

documentation thereof is appropriately completed, the Commission has resolved, by majority

vote, to deliver its report in January 2011, rather than on December 15, 2010. . The Commission will conclude its operations by February 13,2011

"....over the next year we will be serving as proxies for the American people....."

You two LOSERS will NEVER speak for me or any other red blooded American that I know. This commission is a preplanned joke with an expected rubber stamp outcome that favors the 546 worthless imbeciles that are currently pretending to be "LEADERS of the FREE WORLD." To see you two has-beens serving up as sacrifices for the ADMINISTRATION aka "the Cosa Nostra", aka "the MOB", aka "Legal Crime Syndicate", etc.

The depression of the 1930's yielded banking reforms ("The GlassSteagall Act) that kept America's economy fairly safe, until its repeal in 1999 -- after a long, gradual descent into the land of deregulation. I hope and pray for similar reforms to come out of this review, with biparitsan support in Congress. I believe that expressing anger about this, though understandable, is counterproductive in our situation. The stakes are very high: Instead we should be PRAYING FOR OUR COUNTRY EVERY DAY!

I'll be watching!

[russkeller]

Just in case... If this wasn't a complete scam... And it''s baed on honest ignorance. You missed the boat!

Go watch the Ron Paul Videos on YouTube they explain it clearly. But then I do understand that you morons in government view the publics money as something your entitled too rather than what it is NOT YOURS!

[wuastwais]

Let me guess. It was because of free market capitalism and greed. The solution is more government to protect us from all the greedy bankers.

You do realize f. a. hayek won the nobel prize for explaining why the boom-bust cycles occur. I am skeptical because i know why the collapse happened, and i know this is just a witch hunt.
