They knew last year this time that the financial/banking/mortgage industry was screwing poor, uninformed home buyers.  They also knew that the deficit and national debt explosions were shattering investor confidence. They also knew that they had to stay in Iraq indefinitely and that would cost trillions. Yet, they did nothing to prepare the public or specifically those who would be financially devastated.  They sent signals to the Wall Street leeches and they shorted the economy and made billions.  However, there were big losers among the dollar leeches, and the Bushites decided to give them a bailout through the Federal Reserves' pump priming with billions of "ethernet dollars" (fiat money) flowing to the banks to loan at subsidized rates to firms going under.  Not enough?  Well l;let's sellout to our Middle Eastern 'allies'.  They jumped in to save the day, and finish off the rape of the American people that the neocons could not complete. 

I'm jus' sayin' that if they had listened to reasonable neutral folks in 2006, Perlman, Galbraith, Ravi Batra, Thom Hartman, etc. we would not be in this terrible financial, economic sink hole. The question I have to ask Paulson and Cheney, the current architects of fiscal and monetary policy, since you've secured, through your vast wealth while acting as public servants, the future of your children and grandchildren, do you at all give a shit about the rest of us with kids and grandchildren??  if you don't then we understand your current policy determinations and the procrastination attendant to them.  If you do give a shit, then you have to renounce the neocon strategy.
