Who's Washington D.C. trying to fool?

Recently I saw where some of the bankers were brought into question about their personal profits during the recent downfall of the economy. I myself find it outrageous because it was some of these very politicians that voted for the NAFTA accord in which thousands of jobs were shipped to Mexico, Canada and over seas. Now just what the hell do we need from Mexico? Cheap labor and less buracratic red tape for business that exploit and steal from Americans! I believe that our fruitcake political leaders should be brought into question before the American people for their debunk in running this country both democrate and republicans! The bankers were over paid yes, but they were giving home loans to thousands of people who were looking for a loan and just because many people can't control their credit card spending and the loss of jobs to many others isn't a reason to question bankers! When the stock market fails, who'll be paying dividend's on Mexican based companys then? Where's My IRA?

The fact will always remain that what's bad for american labor is good for american corporations. Politicians are pocketed by such special interest groups. As much as I would looove to see them held responsible, this is a capitalist society so what they do is actually %26quot;commendable%26quot;. As for these bankers, you're totally off base. These bankers committed blatant fraud to veil the realities of the sub-prime loans. The people with poor credit were not at fault- they shouldn't have taken out the loan, but what the bankers did was illegal. Most of them paid off the Bush administration and I know at least one man got an ambassadorship in return (this is also illegal...).

Who's Washington D.C. trying to fool?

Trying to fool? I think they have done a dam good job of fooling the people. How many of those in congress, both house %26amp; senate, are career politicians? The country continues to sink in a cauldren of debt, our living standard continues to drop, energy prices are escalating at a pace never seen before in our history, our jobs are outsourced or just plainly shipped to foreign countries enmasse. Healthcare continues to rise while job provided medical insurance becomes less %26amp; less. And through it all, we continue to re-elect these same people that are giving us joblessness, higher energy prices %26amp; a healthcare system that 95% of the people can't afford. Are they fooling us? I think so %26amp; doing a dam good job of it. But, have no fear, your elected representatives are doing quite well %26amp; they thank you for it!!!
