Re: Lobbyist: Bush's Subprime Mortgage Plan Sandba (none / 1)

I should say: A lot of people are going to lose a lot of fucking money, and more than a few are going to wind up in jail before all is said and done.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

reality check (4.00 / 3)

A lot of people will lose every penny they have and their homes as well. But who cares ? They're only middle and working class.

Will rich people, such as those from Goldman Sachs, go to jail for their crimes ? Oh come on. theft is only illegal when you're poor.

keep to the Fen Causeway

Re: reality check (none / 1)

Oh, that's often true, but when huge scandals hit, the likelihood of the rich going to jail seems to increase quite a bit. Witness Ken Lay, among others. The FBI is already loading up on agents for the New York offices in anticipation. Follow the money.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
