Pretty amazing times we live in? Greed ultimately kills the soul. The more you have the more you want. After awhile nothing fills the void except more power(greed) in the form of money and all that it brings. Bigger houses,bigger cars,boats,yachts,motorcycles,lattes...whatever. Greed is the problem here. Wall St is our nation's capital in our quest to extract as much as we can at everyone else's expense,including our own. We look to extract value our of a co. that is already been priced in some three to five years down the road. Value? What the hell is that? It is all about cash flow! Cash flow at financed rates that most can not even afford. Spin the debt instrument as attractively possible and let the sucker on the street get left holding the bag;Mom and Pop,the best of us. Finance our way to hell and until the buck stops spinning just keep looking the other way. Where,oh where has our integrity gone? Bring back the Savings of old school. Let us finance our own debts. Lets us not look toward Wall St for higher gains in packaged loans for investment capital that barely break even most of the time. Wall St would sell its own Mother if she could. After all,Wall St has sold this entire country to the rest of the world. And of all things great and small we here would rather believe that Ron Paul has the answers. A Republican candidate who supported his party that is largely responsible for the huge debt we now face. Not taking anything away from Mr Paul. I am sure he has integrity. His Party sucks! If he is a party to it...,well if the hat fits. That poor fella would be better served,as well the rest of us,if he would only switch Party's. Lets face it. The net President will be a Democrat for better or worse. Our national finances suck! Our foreign policy sucks! And Wall St sucks too! It is a damn shame.
