Grandmother Mary said...

What can we do about this? And they're dismantling social security?

DJan said...

That's disgusting.

We let them get away with this. We do not force our politicians to reign this behaviour in. We haven't demanded the perps of the financial debacle be punished. Bernie Madoff was a "token". He is representative of so many more who go unpunished.

Ponzi schemes and high risk junk bonds; it's all the same to me.

I agree with Brian and DJan. It is such a helpless, horrible feeling.
