Mortgage mess 2009

There had to be some pretty clever financial guys behind America’s massive mortgage fraud. I wonder if these guys are still in charge of Wall Street? Are they the same fellas telling the Feds how much we owe Wall Street to shore up their liquidity?

You can bet that our Federal payoff to Wall Street won’t end soon. Nope. Wall Street knows a ripe opportunity. I expect before long they will invent fresh new figures showing that our government owes them more. And when the holidays approach they will probably need an infusion to cover their generous Christmas bonus.

We the people ought to have a choice. Instead of paying the financial schemers who have pushed the country toward bankruptcy, why don’t we take a hard look at these guys? Let’s see how many graduated from the Enron College of public shuffleboard. Surely, some are ready for advancement into Federal custody. Or maybe we could deport one or two to remind others of their ilk that this country works best when it serves the many and not the few.

Hopefully they already added their generous Christmas bonus so we won’t be clipped again just before the holidays.
I bet what ever amount we pay, it won’t be enough. You see, these Wall Street guys discovered a whole new way to create money. It’s really an enlargement of the Enron ruse. It’s called disguise-the-truth-from-investors-and-use-any-method-to-sell-the-product. That’s why many folks owe more this month than they did last month, because somebody didn’t tell the truth up front. Which is why the mortgage mess exists in the first place.
