i hear ya loud and clear steve and you are justifiably outraged but i think we need to look deeper into this – madoff and company are just the symptoms of a society that believes in its own propaganda – to me i think there is a fund-ah-mental issue at the core – among other things government is a gang and their job is to stay in power at all costs – if you notice its not about we the people its about either being in control or the opposition – the opposition oh-mission position is to be in the position of control – maybe to better understand this – all car drivers hate pedestrians – until they park the car and get out on the street – then they hate all cars and drivers – talk about instant schizophrenia –
government and politics is very much like the above example – so a little known secret is i worked on the floor of the new york stock exchange when i was 19 and was struck by how much it was like a locker room mentality – i wouldn’t trust these guys with your money – hmmm, anyway steve, maybe what we are seeing is the humpty dumpty syndrome of wall street that crumbled because it believed in its own propaganda for way to long to the point that it fucked itself royally and took not only we the people of the Union of American states down but the united states of earth – the rest of the world and Obama is trying to throw good money after bad until he runs out of money and realizes its a broken system – the system of top down management by fear and distrust is broken – let it go and lets build a new society built on trust that serves the people not its masters
a little known fact is that the reason all these toxic loans were issued in the first place was because European and international financial institutions bought the paper thinking it was worth something – but in good American buyer beware mind set we fucked ourselves and fucked the hand that feeds you/we/us too – everybody got taken advantage of and now the house of cards and ring around the not so rosy rosy all came tumbling/falling down – but the real issue should be also on warren buffet back and his moody’s
excerpt from observer.com by Michael M. Thomas article Why Didn’t Warren Buffett Blast Moody’s? http://is.gd/kmKf
…Berkshire Hathaway owns roughly 20 percent of Moody’s. The big rating agency is certainly one of the principal villains in the present crisis, and there is a certain tasty irony that a big chunk of its stock is controlled by Warren Buffett, who famously called derivatives—a class of paper that in many forms required Moody’s nihil obstat to get sold—as the financial equivalent of weapons of mass destruction. Unfortunately, however, as a casual stroll through Google reveals, this story was all over the media last year, which makes its current shock value zilch. As Lear observes, nothing can come of nothing.

but let us not overlook this quote that comes at the end of above statement – As Lear observes, nothing can come of nothing.
but i dis-agree with Lear – the stock market proved that something that comes from nothing may appear to be something – or as Lincoln said you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time – hmmm oh that is wrong too – look at the stock market – it was built on a mirage and corporations unlike individuals don’t have responsibility – nobody is accountable for their actions – a corporation is treated like an individual but can close shop and stop existing it can hide behind the veil of corporate legal non-sense – who writes these laws rules and regulations for whom and by whom to to protect who from whom 
but the real question is who protects us from those who say they are protecting us – and so back to Lincoln who said you can’t fool all the people all the time – but the stock market, government, big biz, media have transformed democracy into an idiotcracy and has been able to fool all of the people for a long long time – as the song goes – its been a long time comin’
a walk down the streets of nyc or any town anywhere and you see lots of empty store fronts where big and small companies went belly up – and why?, not because they didn’t have real value but because the box chain stores goal was to be in control and often the city fathers sold their future to the box stores and malls out
so you reap what you so – bernie madoff wasn’t doing anything that ken lay and enron and all these companies on wall street weren’t doing themselves his problem is he got caught and why he is not in jail is because he could bring the house of cards tumbling down – the equivalent of herbert hoover and his legal FBI mafia – ooops not supposed to say that – damned – anyway bernie and the banks and wall street were milking the cow but the problem is they forgot to feed the cow so now it is in a coma on life support and fading fast so now what is happening as far as i can tell is we are coming to the end of control the end of a society and business built on fear and distrust which serves its masters – maybe made-off mad-off made off with lots of peoples real and imaginary monopoly money that was built on a mirage and maybe this is an opportunity to build a new society built on trust that serves we the people and maybe its a time to return to mom and pop stores that were not built on lowest price but on family, warmth, trust and friendship – the failure of trust has reaped what it sowed and time to learn from our mistakes and follow our hearts and flap our wings and be like the butterfly who can change the direction of a storm at the same time it can even create a storm too – food for thought
the future is in your hands
be well
