The frauds continue and as long as those frauds go unpunished, because it is legal to steal without using a gun on Wall Street, we will see more of this in the future.moneythoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462893426608294171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316774933262163695.post-12580145219655512792010-03-15T13:58:14.363-04:002010-03-15T13:58:14.363-04:00Lou, I hope so too.

But I think the people that can change the way business is done on Wall Street with regards to the CRAs know that a conflict of interest exists already. Where is the incentive to bring about change? Where is it going to come from? My opinion is that if another crushing blow hits the general population of the country financially within a short period of time, that a revolution may occur. That might be what it takes.moneythoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462893426608294171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316774933262163695.post-49169205332098439762010-03-15T13:54:02.216-04:002010-03-15T13:54:02.216-04:00Winslow: Why isn't Obama pursuing the truth? ...Winslow: Why isn't Obama pursuing the truth? There are a couple of reasons that come to mind.<br /><br />First and foremost, politicians are not going to bite the hand that delivers so much cash to their campaigns. Ask Senator Chuck and Hillary from New York State how much money they rake in from Wall Street types? There is your answer to the biggest piece of the question.<br /><br />Second, Obama has hung his presidency on Health Care reform, period. This is something he can change and he is dead serious about that. <br /><br />People in general will have to get smarter about finance and the frauds that are going on before the average politician will sit up and take notice. That is my opinion.moneythoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462893426608294171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316774933262163695.post-36243168041635133022010-03-15T12:52:43.813-04:002010-03-15T12:52:43.813-04:00I'm glad you liked the piece and I figured you...I'm glad you liked the piece and I figured you would. I liked some of the comments below on the website. I have actually watched it twice and glad I did. I missed some things the first time around.<br /><br />As far as why the Obama admin. isn't going after these guys, well, lets see. T. Geithner might be some of the reason. Read this, it is just another issue with the treasury. http://www.buffalonews.com/2010/03/14/987305/delphi-retirees-feeling-frustrated.html <br />With all the news media types and republicans as well as democrates asking, if not demanding, answers to concerns and getting absolutely now where, how do you think the big boys on Wall Street are going to fare. They will just make more money and more excuses and point the fingers in all directions. I would assume that with the finger pointing that they do, they would even be able to make a GPS device go nuts.Butchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617356024199023401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316774933262163695.post-73296202406057010102010-03-15T11:28:49.911-04:002010-03-15T11:28:49.911-04:00I missed 60 minutes last night - I most most of TV...I missed 60 minutes last night - I most most of TV last night - I was out meeting bloggers all day. That said = perhaps the 60 Minutes thing will be the start of recognition of hte problem with the CRAs.

He cites some of the current CEO's that are being interrogated under oath that have NOT been at the forefront of being unethical in their businessess. But, he gives a list of approx. 10 former CEO's that are definitely associated with unethical business practices THAT ARE NOT BEING ASKED TO TESTIFY UNDER OATH ABOUT WHY THEY CONDUCTED THEIR BUSINESS A CERTIAN WAY. <br />Cramer said he, himself, is willing to testify about what and who is involved in the financial collapse. He had mentioned in the past his dealing with some of these individuals that bordered on illegal and completely unethical. <br /><br />My question is: Why isn't Obama pursuing the truth?<br /><br />I think you have answered thiswinslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031974674813319353noreply@blogger.com
