But what is worse is the Federal Reserve has been handing over enormous amounts of money to Wall Street. They don't need Congressional approval. Wall Street has been funneled trillions.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13915962999372304054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638850181807914586.post-68667736501747856782009-10-15T19:09:52.074-05:002009-10-15T19:09:52.074-05:00I agree Sandra - I am currently just very thankful...I agree Sandra - I am currently just very thankful to have a job.<br /><br />How the heck did they sneak by without an regulation?EveryoneThinksThey'reGoodDrivershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12942588333982718335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638850181807914586.post-54879772340790443962009-10-15T17:31:59.160-05:002009-10-15T17:31:59.160-05:00come play along on my blog today everyone!!!!!come play along on my blog today everyone!!!!!Just Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09842126422147340390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638850181807914586.post-2700997529005219822009-10-15T14:37:59.855-05:002009-10-15T14:37:59.855-05:00Liss, you summed it up well.

Both allowed a free-for-all mentality. The Brits reacted differently though and put restrictions in place afterward. We are business as usual. We would make sense to you if you understood the motivator for everything: money. If you follow the money trail, you get it.<br /><br />Alicia, If we are coming out of recession (actually I think depression) it would be a first. A recovery without out job creation. Tell me, how does that work?<br /><br />Bonnie, there is a simmering rage in the US population. It crosses political divides. We are all feeling we are being tossed from the train. And we are. We need to put a voice to our frustration before it explodes into something not good.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13915962999372304054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638850181807914586.post-71719491140522507402009-10-15T13:50:14.985-05:002009-10-15T13:50:14.985-05:00We have to speak up and act, otherwise our silence...We have to speak up and act, otherwise our silence is complicit. We also need to question the information we are fed through the media. Question, speak, demand and act.

And what does the taxpayer get? Higher interest rates, more foreclosures on homes, more bankruptcies and the list goes on and on. I find it quite humorous (not really)that Wall Street is touting that the recession is over. Just another ploy to sucker us out of our money...or lack thereof.Alicia @ boylerpfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494653464202092752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638850181807914586.post-35107416045481139752009-10-15T10:35:16.266-05:002009-10-15T10:35:16.266-05:00Our banks *are* regulated ~ which is why they surv...Our banks *are* regulated ~ which is why they survived the collapse a bit better. I must say that as an outsider the way America does things ocassionally really floors me. It just doesn't seem sensible...<br /><br />As for the other. I think when our youth becomes disengaged from the adults in their society they don't take on our values & I must say the number of young people I know who sidle away from, if not downright avoid adults, including their own parents, is really starting to bother me. The violence is starting younger & younger too. No wonder us Christians are wagging our sage heads & thumbing through Revelation...lolGaneidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638850181807914586.post-66522651288817958952009-10-15T08:34:18.712-05:002009-10-15T08:34:18.712-05:00I have to say I agree with you.

When I'm not complaining, I'll state my opinion. It doesn't always make me popular but at least I don't lie and you know where you stand.Memories Of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13372908229050942550noreply@blogger.com
