The extreme use of leverage while creating, then selling these Cod’s put all of these jobs at risk. The regulators were a sleep at the wheel. I am not sure if it was because they were trying to be free market capitalist by staying out of the mix or if they were just derelict in their duties.

I can give my own speculative answer to the first question by saying this: What type of free market system lets the population be pillaged by the financial sector letting them fend for themselves? If that wasn't enough to get my point across consider that they then took gasoline and poured it directly on the flame by handing of trillions of dollars to the very people responsible for bringing the economy to the brink of disaster.


 If you are not angry yet, and trust me you should be. You have likely been brainwashed by the (MSN) main stream media and the TBTF (too big to fail) banks.

And if you are not angry enough to stand up for what is right in our country we soon will be officially turned into a bank state. Actually we already are run by the banks of course, any doubts that this was true have been completely vaporized by the recent events leading to and then proceeding the crisis.

   
It was as if someone was running around the outside of your home pouring gasoline on the foundation, walls, trees and grass, as their partner followed along with match sticks smoking cigarettes.
