@Indy

Were you stung in the meltdown?Maybe foreclosed on? Lost money in the market?

I ask because you seem to be gripping a little too hard on this and other financial issues you so go on about.

I was retired when the meltdown happened, and my house was paid for.. All of my portfolio and 401k was completely OUT of the stock market.. The crash didn't affect me at all..

BUT I saw too many good people, hard working people lose their jobs and savings and see their houses go to 1/2 their value because the crooks on WS, and the crooks running the rating agencies, and the crooked mortgage houses and mortgage brokers lied, cheated and forged the country's economy into the shitter. All in the name of greed..

It changed my views too, and when the Republicans just about completely backed the bankers and put 100% of the blame for the crash on the borrowers, that completely changed my politics too..

Hey BTW it's a different thread, but have you heard what Wall St. is doing to pension funds these days?
