If I had it my way, I would let those big banks fail that made all those bad loans.  I'm sure that's not all they did....the money had to go somewhere for them to be insolvent now.  I would have given, and would now give, any bailout money to smaller, honest, community banks that exist all over this country and let them give out loans to those who need help.  And there would be regulations and oversight, as there should have been all along. 

Not only that, I would treat the bankers and Wall Street manipulators the same way as drug users were treated in this country - break down their doors in the middle of this night, seize all their assets, haul them off to jail, and make them prove their innocence before releasing any assets they might have left after their court costs. 

I notice that China grabbed the greedy businessmen who put melamine into the children's milk, and I heard on tv last night that they will be EXECUTED for their crimes.  At least one country sees that greed is a sin against humanity.  Unlike this country, whose afficianados of Reagan/Bush policies have been extolling greed as a virtue.  Can you believe they call themselves Christian? 

Yes, grab them and put them in jail, and let the full extent of their crimes be known.  Let us have justice.  They have ruined the whole world economy, and the money is hidden away.  They need a little prompting to come clean.  Let them pay with higher taxes.

And when does dissent become truly sedition or treason or calling for the overthrow of our duly elected government.  There is some nut named Keys (sp?) whose rhetoric is designed to bring out the worst in the so-called "right."  I think he should be arrested.  And the poor, poor Republicans who are crying and calling for a divorce from the rest of us!  What a joke.  We Democrats, who surely had enough fuel to call for Bush to be stopped for his crimes against humanity, we didn't carry on like this, and we suffered for a very long time. 

I always have said that some of my best friends are Republicans, and I really mean it.  It seems that many of them have very good ideas that are good for this country, and we all ought to listen to each other.  And come to agreements.  But these extremists who are calling for somebody to "stop him" are treading on dangerous ground.  Their lies continue at an alarming pace, and although they can be proven to be pathetic and dishonest, it isn't right for them to carry on like this.  I wish the Republican Party would lean on their radical brothers and call for mutual cooperation in this terrible time of economic struggle.  Don't allow this divisive behavior to go on.
