obamacrackshack,
You make an important point, but nothing I said contradicts Clinton's involvement. The bookkeeping fraud did not begin in Bush's first semester, but the California Energy Crisis did and that was what I was refering to. The culpability of Bush & Cheney for these crimes is clear, not just in the manner in which it unfolded, but their refusal to do anything about it. Cheney was an active participant, providing Ken Lay unlimited access and key Government appointments for being their administration's largest contributor. Yes, a few people were prosecuted, but the money was never returned. Our Government can impound anybody's home for commercial development, but we can never recover money stolen during white collar crimes. They won't even try.
The sudden collapsing of Enron, Tycco and Worldcom was a wakeup call to action. Sarbanned-Oxley was passed, but the SEC was clearly directed to lay off, just like the EPA and OSHA while other agencies began massive giveaway extraction programs, tax breaks and subsidies.
This is exactly how BushI handled the S&L Disaster. First BushI covered it up increasing the cost hundreds of billions of dollars; later fifty prosecutors were fired giving Neil a get out of jail free card; then a token prosecution of Charles Keating, overturned after two years; but never even attempt to retrieve any of the stolen money.
Phil Gramm's "Nation of Whiners" is taking it in the ass and we have Bush and Pelosi trying to punish the innocent. No one is less concerned about the well being of humanity than Cheney and no one is more responsible for the barrage of fraud which has enveloped this country than Mr. Gramm.
But, as we have seen over this last week, Pelosi, the richest member of the house, has actively conspired with Bush and Paulson to fuck the little guy, thereby improving their own positions.
The Democrats have played along, in order to be eligible for more bribes (campaign donations), but people like Cheney, Cunningham, DeLay, Gingrich, Gramm, Reagan, Thatcher are some of the political architects acting on behalf of Milton Friedman's rationalization's for the real beneficiaries such as Rothschilds, Rockerfellers, Duponts, JP Morgans families.
Today is the first time in decades that the Oligarchy hasn't called the shots. But the fight isn't over.
