Puleeze, the investment firms are regulated (or are SUPPOSED to be regulated) by the SEC among others (there are several state and federal agencies that are supposed to oversee mortgage lending). Were the brokerage firms/banks doing anything illegal at the time? Newp. Were they greedy? Maybe but they weren't operating outside of the law. Did stupid people sign up for outrageously risky loans that they might not be able to afford to repay. Yep.
The problem with the Wall Street firms is that they operate as a cartel, with profits 100% gov't subsidized and losses 100% socialized -- which is indicative of mercantilism rather than capitalism.

You have no theory regarding a connection between Obama being the first to raise .5B, Wall Street and the hierarchy of the real power in government.
It's just your belief that Obama prefers performing oral sex on circumsised penis AND you're clever.
My mistake.
I'm surprised you failed to mention the entertainment industry, too.
I hear it has a lot of Jews.
Two things become clear, Tiki: you don't know what euphemism is, and you don't know that firms like Goldman Sachs are 100% gov't subsidized.
Sorry, Roth . . . you are convinced you are correct, but you are wrong.
This was a poor effort in disguising your original Wall Street comment as a "euphemism".
No one is fooled . . . it's part of your sacred ideology . . . Jew and Obama bashing.
Too bad you didn't have the stones to defend your positon's original description and its eloquent wording.
Or facts.

So you really believe that I think Obama is giving blowjobs to Wall Street Jews?
What I meant is that he's a traitorous sellout who's aided and abetted the looting of America, and that he should be prosecuted, convicted and executed for high treason -- along with the rest of the scum who foist themselves off as public servants.

We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.

Did you want George W Bush executed for high treason because he started the whole "selling America down the river" ball rolling?
No, didn't think so fuckwit.

No, didn't think so fuckwit.
As a matter of fact, I happen to think that there are at least 2 Bush's deserving of execution for treason.
Guess that makes you the fuckwit, OP. Perhaps someday you'll learn not to make foolish assumptions; then again, perhaps not.
