I agree with Rep. Waters. What we need to do is tax these rich people like the bankers and CEO's that are driving up medical costs with bigger and bigger tit jobs for their wives.

The problem with GM is that they aren't making cars that people want. They are also losing money on each car they produce. Despite this, we need to support this company so our entire manufacturing base doesn't move to China.

When Bernard Madoff stole $50 billion from his investors, some of whom were his supposed friends and fuck buddies, he proved that he was a heartless liar. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprise if he were lying about something as serious as cancer.

It makes sense that a firm that relies entirely on computers to make high frequency trades of dark pools is laying people off. It could be one of two things: they just bought more computers or the downturn is affecting them as well. After speaking with my Senator, he assures me that it won't be too much longer until this whole firm is out of work.

Collegues I've spoken with make me think these researchers are on to something. The solution is easy: make Citigroup pay for all these homeowners' antidepressant and blood pressure drugs. I would like to know how many of the bankers that sold these mortgages are suffering bouts of depression on their yachts right now.

I don't understand what this has to do with responsible financial journalism. This distracting behavior is what got us into this mess to begin with. What happened to Paul Kangas soberly reporting the day's advances and declines?

The rich seem to be fine using government services when they're calling the cops on maniacs chopping their hedge rows down with chainsaws. Why are they always whining about paying the taxes for those services then? I don't complain when I pay my taxes, and after the judge ordered me to, the taxes of my ex-wife.

I am sick of hearing how these sharks are swindling us everyday. They should have to disclose every trade they make and publish their opinion on which way the market is going to go each day so they can't front run the public on their ideas.

I warned the management of AIG many times in the comments of this blog and others that the premiums they were charging for CDS were too low. Of course, my advice went unheeded just as it often was back when I was practicing medicine. My patients would come back with some chronic fatal condition crying to me to save them, but it was too late...

It is probably just their investors' cash that is going up in smoke. They should send the cop cars next.
