How can all these things be true at the same time in the same universe?
– The biggest banks in the world are revealed to have manipulated the critically important LIBOR rate for years for their own financial benefit.
– JP Morgan Chase is belatedly discovered to have lost $5.8 billion — up from the original $2 billion estimate — in risky derivatives trading that it supposedly did not dabble in. The trades were allegedly hidden both from regulators and from top executives.
– Jon Corzine and MF Global announce that they have lost $40 billion — including $1.6 billion of clients’ money that by law should never have been put at risk. The money may never be recovered.
– Russell Wasendorf, founder of PFGBest, is arrested for fraud for having lost more than $200 million in clients’ money that again by law should never have been put at risk. Again, the money may never be recovered.
– The financial system is overregulated.

“TWO
During the same period which countries mudered its citizens, disarrned them and used military force make them to comply with a poltical system that resulted in their enslavement poverty, starvation, poor health care, and the deaths of million?.”
*************
Don’t get me wrong. I love my country, but to answer the question:
“…murdered its citizens…” Well, okay, they weren’t citizens yet, that would have to wait until the 1920s when a convenient enough number had been slaughtered, but do the American Indians ring a bell…?
“…used military force to make them comply with a political system…” The Civil War comes to mind the Removals, the Plains Wars,
“…enslavement…” Well, I do seem to recall that was a fundamental element of the American scene for a good part of that 200 year history.
“…starvation…” Outside a couple of years here and there in isolated incidences, that one has never been characteristic of the federal government’s policies.
“…poor health care…” Really? Let’s see, slavery, Jim Crow; the Reservations, Appalachia and the urban slums…
“…the deaths of millions…” Aw, what’s a few pesky savages, the middle passage, the Late Unpleasantness, some Hawaiians, among others when rewriting the past to make it more perfect….

I am still not sure what you are advocating. We pass laws now that restrict what banks can do. And if they violate those laws we prosecute. I call that regulation.
You complain about government interfering with banks. What activities of the government do you consider government interfering. Are you advocating that the government stop bank audits. I don’t see that as interference with what they are doing.
Bank audits are more like state police by the road with a radar gun looking for speeders. I don’t call that interference.

I think it’s possible it’s overregulated and underregulated at the same time.
It’s overregulated from the standpoint of the sheer number of rules and regulations out there.
But it’s simultaneously underregulated because the government clowns at the SEC, CFTC, etc. don’t know what the heck they’re doing.
Harry Markopolos, the Bernie Madoff whistleblower, basically made that same claim years ago. He said the SEC and CFTC were a kangaroo court. I’ve seen nothing to disprove it.
At this point the best way to ferret out the fraud is to jack up the whistleblower rewards. But even then it’s doubtful the morons in the government will find the fraud. Markopolos handed it to them on a silver platter and they ignored it. Tim Geithner and the NY Fed were told of the LIBOR stuff years ago, and they ignored it.
Yet in Bookman’s fantasy land this is somehow a Republican issue.

It’s true that Obama is a far left thinker and at very least a socialist believer. I don’t know if he goes all the way to Marxism but I would hope he doesn’t get a second term for the country to find out. Having said that I will say that Jay is not an idiot and calling him an idiot doesn’t compliment the conservative cause as it places us down at the same level as the more immature left wing bloggers on here. I disagree with Jay’s political views often but he’s entitled to his views and while those views may make him misguided they certainly don’t warrant calling him an idiot.

All I can tell you is that I have the design for the yellow/red Nam ribbon for a license plate on the front of my truck. I will always be proud that I fought for the freedom of another people. I have posted this many times but the below quote also hangs on the wall to my right. I can’t say it any better:
“I have the sense from time to time that I am not alone, and I suspect that despite the limited understanding we have of events in distant places, there will always be those among us who have the gleam of the quest in their eyes. They are people of every sex and station and they yearn to be challenged to a cause. They will always be looking for that wrong to right, that ill to cure, that song to sing; and there will always be those who will go to arms in aid of the helpless and the downtrodden. Ignoring the political issues of the moment, these people will champion the weak and the poor in the face of evil and tyranny. And no matter what the outcome, in their romantic hearts they will always keep the secret, if secret it must be, that they are better men for having held the lamp beside the golden door”.

Yeah, Marko honey, live & learn. First lesson: don’t piss off the wimmen. We have long memories & we vote.
I hope you do know that I am teasing you. I am an OLD woman so I am allowed to do that.

Forget about raising taxes, just hire enough enforcement officers to ensure complience with existing laws, and we’d eliminate the deficit and unemployment in a single stroke. What if businesses were really concerneded about the regulations they whine about? Last I heard Black Lung was alive and well, and living in Kentucy.

Kam@7:11, you have a problem with that?!? From all the posts here in the past several months, I know you don’t. I get that you just couldn’t help yourself. IMO, you are among the goods guys here. But sometimes the “low hanging fruit” is just too much to resist. And, appropos of nothing in this post, do watch HIGH SOCIETY. It is truly a lovely movie.

Yeah, it was a low hanging fruit thingie but I figured as long as we’re spoofing gender stereotypes — what’s good for the goose, is good for the gander.
Besides, I adore wimmen and I adore y’all for everything y’all are.

Yo, Marko, I SO get that! When I look in that mirror, I see my mom. I loved my mom, but eewwew! I surely never planned for this. Well, the old adage says, “we plan, god/goddess laughs.”

So it has come to this: Obama says *you think you’re so smart.* He said *whole bunch* a whole buncha times again over the weekend, too. Does Jay Carney know what that all means in constitutional law professor shorthand?

Did he, or anyone in his administration say the smoking gun is the mushroom cloud?
