Reply #18: Yeah, because Wall Street handled the mortgage industry so well. [View All]

Has it not become clear to even the thickest freeper that Wall Street cannot be trusted with anything that directly involves the consumer? So what are the pols doing right now? Are they sitting around saying "Well, the Insurance Industry and Wall Street surely know what they're doing, let's just let the market handle this". Are they that stupid, or are we for letting them get away with not doing their jobs?

Jeez, this is a disaster in the making, and it's going to end up costing the American taxpayer trillions to bail out Hartford, Fireman's Fund, and AIG (again!).

You know, come to think of it, I smell a big Goldman Sachs rat here. I would bet hard cash that if you dig deep enough, the sleaze balls at GS are up to their Armani collared necks in this swindle.
