Speaking of Madoff....this guy couldn't make his bail, but his punishment for that is "home incarceration" in his $7 million dollar Penthouse.

Don't people that can't make bail usually go to jail?

It is the bankers fault that democrats blocked President Bush, Senator McCain and many other Republicans's efforts to regulate Fannie and Freddy?

It is foolish to blame this entirely on the politicians or to exclude them from blame.

Yeah, it's AMAZING that a few bankers and rating agencies were able to set the whole World up for financial Armageddon.


Oh, I know it must the gnomes.
