[quote]Investigative reporter Danny Schechter has never been quiet about the slick ways of Wall Street and American finance. He won Emmys and was out front on the 1980s S&L crisis.

Now, he’s on fire with the story of American and global financial market meltdown and the machinations that preceded it. The “largest robbery in American history,â€

But you may not like what you see

Hmmm, inventive fee system.
Your balance is $6000.
Your new limit is $3000.
Fork over a fee for being over the limit.
And a higher rate too cause you just became risky.

[quote]And he raises this question: “Where are the prosecutors?â€

Wow, the bailout sure means rough times for top executives.

This one addresses a certain person's myopic view of what's right and wrong.

Ah yes, not learning even from his own personal history, let alone any business ethics classes, McCain gets yet another cease and desist letter from Jackson Browne

And the Foo Fighters

We already covered Hearts cease and desist order in a prior post, but I didn't realize John Cougar Mellencamp was yet another

Yes, this is the ethical standard we need in the US right now, a real moral leader.

Hello,

More disturbing news out of the NSA:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95689436


Cheney gave an Executive Order for the NSA to bypass the FISA court -- and spy on Americans.

A quick summary of the pathetic state of American Ethics

A fish rots from the head down.

Just what the hell motivates people?

Well clearly this woman is not a liberal media person so she must be objective and fair minded, right?

Now normally it's fun to watch the politician make an arse out of themselves, but here well, this is a classic. I mean really, when you give a tax cut to the wealthy you're helping Americans, and when you give one to the middle class you're spreading the wealth/being a socialist? WTF?

Hiya,

Ted Stevens has been convicted on all 7 counts, of lying about receiving aver $250,000 is gifts.

Oops.

He could be sentenced up to 5 years for each felony count -- but giving a 35 year sentence to an 84 year old, 7 term Senator is probably not going to happen.

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=96189065



He is the senior Republican in the Senate, and he brought home more pork per person than anyone else -- including the "bridge to nowhere"; which Sarah Palin was for, before she was against it -- and the state kept the money...

That's a start...

But the french got it right.

But even there I'm sure CEO's buy their way out of it, just like here.

Oh Neil did you catch Colbert today? He started with Stevens and the headline read "Baked Alaskan." That whole story was hysterical.

Then he covered all the people who have been calling Obama a socialist by inviting on the show the actual candidate for socialist party (that probably should be capitalized but too bad). I mean the guy must know what he's in for as Colbert greets him, "Let me say I hate everything you stand for and welcome to the show." Then this guy tries to make his point about socialism in between numerous Colbert jabs, even he's laughing. He finally says what's going on is called "Red baiting." He explains the financial bailout and how eventually the government will get back the money it's loaning out, but then I think "Like the way we have been repaid by France after WWII??" I had to stick at least one little jab in there.

Read and learn Bush's last ditch effort to a total dirt bag. Nothing matters except corporations.

aristide1 :
Actually, France paid back 20% of the total aid given by the USA. The rest was a donation by the American government. So technically, we're even
(Sorry, just me beeing french)

And I LOVE Colbert. He's so out of it and smart at the same time !!! I watch him almost every night

As far as corruption is concerned, I'd say that until the people start doing something about it (first step is to vote), nothing will ever change. Normal people like me (us?)are just way out of the system these people are in. IMO, we have NO idea how widespread it really is... saddly...

See, they don't even teach that much in American history classes.

Can't trust anybody.

hehe

Hiya,

Well, I got to watch the Colbert Report online -- I don't have cable, or satellite, or FiOS -- just broadcast TV... Funny, very funny.

100% Ethics-free from the very start to the very end.

Hiya,

They also have 6 employees under investigation for possible manslaughter -- they shot at least 17 Iraqi civilians "in self-defense".

And we, the US taxpayers are paying Blackwater a lot of money: 250 million a year for 5 years for just one contract in Iraq.

Well, sorry to disappoint all you people who believe I am partisan. No sorry I just want to part with all unethical scum bags, ie put them in a damn jail cell.

Why the hell is Blagojevich not under arrest yet?

A quote from Dick Cheney in:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28338533/


Does that mean the US won't sell Halliburton almost another trillion dollars over the next 7 years? Well won't that be a horrible shame. Like, I'm all busted up that won't happen again.


Yeah well there are millions of US patriotic citizens who would like to see you charged and jailed as well. They aren't chuckling either, but we're all sure that situation will never be patched up.

We can only hope you're dumb enough to set foot off of US soil next year.

I think Joe Average is about to become the biggest patsy even in the history of this nation.

I'm feeling kinda ill.

Well if you don't like Faux News you can always read Newsweak. What a pathetic rag that thing has become, or was it always like that?

Yeah lobbyists sure help the country don't they?

Hello,

This is another low point for the Justice Department:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99307148

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28823013/

Number of people in jail? Zero

Number of people arrested? Zero

And the ridiculous irony in the above article is S&P and Moody's downgrading Greek and Spanish bonds, the same companies that told everyone those garbage mortgage backed securities were safe in the first place. What's wrong with this picture?

Please help save our country.
Shoot a lobbyist,



or 3.

I wanted to make that a saying a bumper sticker on my car, but I figured I would get arrested.

As a teenager I wanted one that said - Save a country, shoot a drug dealer.

Ah yes, living it up on YOUR TAX DOLLARS. HAHA!
