This slideshow makes me want to cry.
This is just too unbelievable. I don't know how I'm going to pay my mortgage come January while these guys are living the high life on my dime. Maybe it's time we took to the streets. ENOUGH!

11. Andrew Cuomo is not someone I'd put my faith in
after his hugely corrupt behavior while head of HUD. My guess is that he sees his former cronies from the Clinton administration getting jobs with Obama, and is grandstanding to position himself. He's all talk and no hat.

7. Good luck with your mortgage
Edited on Fri Nov-14-08 01:11 AM by ben_meyers
Our local news in Phoenix (ch 14) has been running a story today about a couple with three kids who are losing their home in the Guadalupe area. He was laid off from Moon Valley CC as a grounds keeper and she had been in housekeeping for 12 years at The Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort(AIG was just there last week)and was laid off due to the lack of corporate business this season. Room and conference business has just about disappeared.
I happen to work with people in mortgage remediation, and I have contacted this young couple to see if my company can help.

This economy is killing everyone.

10. This was the reason it was leaked that army battalions
were stationed in Colorado with terrifying crowd control weapons. Cheney et.al. expected us to take to the streets when their election season machinations pressured Congress into voting for the bailout against enormous popular opposition. Pitiful that we didn't. Where was the "International Action Center" when we needed them to organize a response against mega financial institutions run amok?

15. What's being done about this?
Are the American people just suppose to sit back and take this? Have there been any demonstrations over this whole mess? More and more coming forward for their share of a piece of the pie to spend away while the people just sit and spin. I couldn't even sleep last night after seeing this.
