    Where the f do you think you live! Bolivia?Iran? Iraq? Russia?China? But since their are so many mother f's like you that think they can get away with this kind of crap it takes our system sometime to get to the bottom of it and procecute you idiots. In the U.S we dont just hang who ever we think committed an injustice! We go across oceans and do that but we have to follow a certain order here in the U.S. The congressional hearings have barely begun! Like this idiot, do you think he is not going to be procecuted for insider trading! Some one is going to pay you just better hope its not you! The bear stearns and lehmans are just the beginning


    Representative Stephen F. Lynch, a Massachusetts Democrat, asked Friedman why he bought Goldman shares during his tenure and sought a waiver to allow him to stay with the New York Fed. The shares purchased by Friedman in December 2008 and January 2009 have about doubled in value to around $8 million. Friedman resigned his post at the New York Fed in May.

    “You knew you were not in compliance, you had to apply for a waiver,” Lynch said at the hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. “Yet you bought 37,000 more shares.”

    Oversight of Goldman

    Friedman, 72, said the New York Fed staff sought the waiver on his behalf. He said he “played no role” in decisions about payments to AIG counterparties.

  3. The congressional hearings have barely begun!

    I hope you remember your predictions next week - I doubt that you will

    If you had committed such a crime do you think they would just now be holding hearings?

    Do you truly believe they've only just begun, or are they all over already?

  4. The people have elected these leaders, so in turn they are giving the power to them to run the government. The only time that the people are in charge is during elections.

  5. Its only perception of perceived power, nothing more. This country is run by corporations and has been for a long time.

    WTF? The Supreme Court rules that Corp. America can donate unlimited sums to Presidential Campaigns. Pathetic.

    It amazes me how so few people realize this simple truth. Otherwise intelligent people bicker with each other over irrelevant issues such as which political party is selling out - they ALL are.

  7. This is what happens when you allow motivated shit scum neo-commies to take over the political process.

    The neo commies give a good talk about smaller govt and states rights, only when it comes to screwing the middle class. Look at who's funding the tea-gagging shit scum to move around the country for free heckling locals in their own town hall meetings.

    The middle class deserve the ass shafting they're getting. They keep on voting for the shit scum. Still haven't learned anything from the past 3 decades of shit scum in power.

    Religion plays a big factor. Religious nutters will cut off their own gonads if their pastors told them that would get them into their fantasy heaven.

    One of the shortest running political plays you'll ever see. Hope you didn't blink.
