Finally someone with some sense. Throw them all in prision. I am not sure how many employees Goldman Sach's has, but a lot. And they have purchased and are being trained with firearms. So if we ask them, nicely, they can protect us while we train a new police force. We have some very smart people on this board, Thanks.

From my vantage point, your sarcasm isn't all that sarcastic. I don't want to bail out the liar loan guy any more than the crook guy on Wall Street. But I guess I'm doing both, albeit unwittingly. And frankly, I'm not sure who is more to blame; the mailman who bought more home than he can afford or the Wall Street financier who suckered him. You tell me who deserves more or less disdain.

How can we blame the people WE HIRE though? If I overpay my employee, I am responsible. Hiring somebody and telling them they can work 25 years, switching the final two years to a location that pays double, and then retire at that very high rate for, oh, 40 years if they are lucky and healthy, then how on earth could I blame THEM for saying not Yes! but Hell Yes!! We are the fools. We hired the idiots who gave out those ruinous terms of public employment. The irony to me is that those in retirement may have limited or no police or fire protection of their own since taxes will be funneled largely or entirely to pay those who were granted those hallucinogenic retirement plans.
