Why? Because all the Wall Street executives bought off the politicians.
Wrong.
The politicians caused the problems in the first place.
That’s tiddlywinks…they bought off Hollywood and the media.
I think it is more than the politicians concluded a corrupt bargain with the pols. It all took place on September 15, 2008. when Bush’s treasury sec brokered the deal. Obama and McCain were both part of it. Because Obama was “reasonable,” he won the election because he was younger and prettier than the old flyboy.
No action on prosecution because this lead back to the Democrat party as did lots of money from the bad loans through donations.
Want to bet a huge chuck of the numerous stimulus packages also went in donations back to the Democrat party?
We live in strange times, for as Hillary Clinton would say, “SO WHAT”, and they get away with it.
Who is going to catch crime in a criminal organization that regulates itself and doesn’t want to be caught?
“Why? Because all the Wall Street executives bought off the politicians.”
Insider trading by members of Congress had to (has to?)
be the most obnoxious and unholy practice ever.
It has made a mockery of stocktrading and free enterprise
and allowed a bunch of elected officials to become rich at the expense of constituents as the process of government was (is) subverted.
They strut like peacocks and consider themselves to be brilliant, intellectual geniuses, governing the “morons” in flyover country, while doing that for which other people have spent time in jail.
(One of these days, it would be nice to see a list of people who have engaged in law-making and equities trading at the same time.)
