I see ignorance is running rampant.

I love how right wingers have to call people names and insult them when they dont agree with them.

Shows a real lack of intelligence and maturity.

Like you never stooped as low.

Still got that baseball bat?

This blubbering idiot is single most responsible person for the economic climate were in right now !

I think our economy is a bit more complicated than to blame it on one person.

777,

One person can do a lot. After all the president (Bush or Obama) has sole control over the price of fuel in case you did not know. I personally know for a fact that Frank was able to manipulate the real estate market all on his own with out a single member of Congress knowing what was going on. The man is an evil genius the likes of which have never before been seen.

Oh NO! He had plenty of help from the rest of the Criminals in Congress. The influence peddling/crony capitalism was well distributed,

Jail Cells for Corzine, Soros, Waters, Paulson, Frank, Pelosi, No One

Newt Gingrich made headlines in October because he suggested that Barney Frank and Chris Dodd should go to jail for authoring the so-called Dodd-Frank banking reforms. Taken together the “landmark” reforms look a lot like an Obama speech: very wordy, very partisan, but full of inaction, cross-purposes and the typical liberal confusion about economics, society and man.

The legislation crafted by Dodd and Frank has reformed none of the systemic failures in our banking system, but it sure has made it harder for banks to loan money, or for you and me to buy a house.

Much of the failure of the housing sector to recover since 2008 can be laid at the feet of the misshapen and misanthropic Dodd-Frank reforms. And much of the failure of the economy in general to recover since 2008 can be laid at the feet of the failure of the housing sector to recover.

Loaning money was not a problem when Dodd and Frank both were getting favors from the industries they regulate. Dodd got a VIP loan from one of the most reckless sub-prime lenders, Countrywide; and Frank got his live-in lover- boyfriend, husband, wife, whatever- a job at Fannie Mae, the largest of the government mortgage mills- and Frank went on to staunchly defend Fannie as safe and sound in the run-up to the mortgage meltdown.

So naturally when Congress was looking for a pair of geniuses to fix the banking sector, Dodd and Frank had comedic resumes that stood out. It’s the way Congress has always done business.

"All being corrupt together," wrote E.L. Godkin, of Congress in 1873, "what is the use of investigating each other?" Godkin made a name as a muckraker and a reforming journalist who helped found the periodic magazine The Nation. Note that Godkin was a fierce critic of socialism.

But of course Frank and Dodd’s chances of seeing a jail cell are not just remote; the chances are nonexistent mostly because they would be judged by others who share the same ethical lapses that Dodd and Frank do.

You are either part of the club or not.

Balance of the story HERE


Tiny Iceland apparently has a better handle on how to handle bankers, They have their own "Occupy" system. Destroy a bank? "Occupy" A Jail Cell!

Iceland Arrests Former CEO Of Failed Bank

Iceland's special prosecutor has taken Larus Welding, the former head of the failed Glitnir Bank, into custody, Reuters reports.

Glitnir Bank was the first of the top three Icelandic commercial banks to fail in 2008.

Former director of market trade Jóhannes Baldursson and former broker Ingi Rafn Júlíusson were also taken into custody and between ten and twenty other former employees of Glitnir Bank were also investigated.

They are expected to be held for a week, apparently to prevent tampering with evidence or witness coercion.

The Special Prosecutor’s Office released a statement that indicates their investigation will focus on four areas (via IceNews):

1. The purchase of Glitnir’s own trade of shares issued by the bank on the stock market. Also the bank’s purchase of and trade with shares issued by FL Group.

2. Loans granted to various companies because of purchase of shares issued by the bank at the end of 2007 and in 2008. The original principal of these loans is believed to amount to almost ISK 37 billion (USD 310 million, EUR 231 million) in total.

3. Trade with forward contracts on shares issued by the bank.

4. Glitnir’s underwriting of the ISK 15 million (USD 126 million, EUR 93 million) stock offering by FL Group at the end of 2007, beginning of 2008.

The collapse of Iceland's three biggest commercial banks left $86 billion in debt (Iceland’s 2010 GDP was only $13.3 billion).

At least ONE country knows how to deal with Bankers! here we give them 700 BILLION under the assumption that "Hey, you F'ed Up with your own money surely you'll take better care of ours! That's either Arrogance or Stupidity on our part, or perhaps both and you wonder why the Tea Party and Occupy Movements are growing? Don't ask Iceland as they are apparently ahead of the curve.

Funny in a kind of ignorant partisan way that Gingrich is so delusional as to believe that no republicans should have adjoining cells.

Well DUH! He's running for POTUS are you that dumb? You think he's going to tell you that Boehner is up to his eyeballs in this behavior?

Besides which if Ron Paul is right like he has been in the past the thieves will get ruined by the very monetary system they created. Problem there is so will we.

 

[Ms Tree]

No, are you? After all you are the one who posted an article mentioning this ignorant hypocrite.

 

[SparrowHawk]

As usual for the Progressive/Liberal the messenger is more important than the message. Everyone mentioned is guilt of at least ethics violations if not criminal charges. But hey if an evil Republican or Fox news reports it then they're not right.

Nice of you to ignore how tiny Iceland is handling their bank crisis. People ARE going to jail as they should. Here was have the fox guarding the hen house and a pule of dead hens and you're upset because Gingrich pointed it out?


Newt Gingrich challenged Ron Paul in the last debate and this is Ron Paul's answer. everyone on the debate knows not to challenge Ron Paul because he will chew you up on the stage and if he doesnt get the chance to do so than his campain will answer accordingly. When you have the courage of your convictions and hold life long beliefs you NEVER have to choose your answers as they come naturally.
