  • NYC is the financial capital of America, during the period 2000-2008; do you honestly think Major Bloomberg was not aware of his industry partner’s greedy activities with deregulation and the Wall Street parasites actions with Mortgage Derivatives?



    Economics 101. America avoided a depression and the collapse of the banking system and a run on bank withdrawals because President Obama and Bush governments stepped up to provide funding for over 800 financial institutions. The majority of these institutions did not file bankruptcy and are still solvent. Hopefully, the majority of this funding will be repaid with interest. Current economic signs are showing repayments are attainable. The eight year (2000-2008) de-regulation of the banking industry and Wall Street continually trading unregulated bungled mortgage derivatives at high prices with unknown actual values created this nightmare. They also insured these derivatives for any potential loss. What stupid company would provide this insurance? Oh AIG and etc. There was no separation of banks lending money to companies and then investing in these same companies. No checks and balance within the system. A lot of wealthy people, besides Bernie Mad off ran off with a lot of money before the stages were locked for this stock market decline. The federals agencies that would regulate and audit these companies and Wall Street were not adequately funded by the Bush administration during this 8 year period. Also, review President Regan deregulation of Saving and Loan in 1980, resulting in the 1989 President Bush Sr. $125 billion bailout of 750 Savings and Loan of the 1980s. President Bush Sr. sons Jeb Bush defaulted on $4.6 million loan, Neil Bush Silverado S& L bailout $1.6 billion by taxpayers. Do you see the de-regulation pattern?

    • Deregulation is always one of the ploys used by the wealthy and industry to make money usually performing some type of corrupt business practices. If America did not have Government oversight (Federal, State and Local) performing these business audits, America would still be the wild, wild, west. Government does have its share of waste and abuse, but for the most part they perform a necessary service of checks and balance. But, the way corrupt leaders control government agencies that perform these audits is by not funding the Agencies. The SEC which audits the industry and Wall Street stock market are not adequately funded, they cannot hire enough qualified agents to perform the annual audits. Some of the wealthy will always find ways to make money through corrupt means, and one of the ways is to deregulate, and rob this country blind every other 8 years, while keeping the low and middle class fighting about non issues. Do you remember how the talking heads tried to initially blame the America people for the financial meltdown on people buying homes they could not afford? This meltdown was caused by banks investing for enormous profits while at the same time loaning money to these companies. The Wall Street Mortgage derivative with was the biggest Ponzi scheme in the world, by continually selling unregulated bungled stocks at higher and higher prices until the bubble busted. But, before it burst numerous wealthy people stole billions and billions of dollars.

  • It is evident that we lack a political education and that Blacks are running on fallacies and myths. Our elected officials spend all of their time scheming for the next election. By their own titles, they are not lawmakers. The Democratic Party writes its own political agenda and our leaders serve as their proxies and pawns.

    The Black masses are clueless politically. They rely on political labels to get them through political minefields. They simply go to polling booths on Election Day armed with palm cards. These palm cards are simply mug shots with the names of the suspects underneath them.
    • Political apathy exists within all races of people. Your thought pattern is not logical. At the very least, the majority of voters weigh where they think candidates stand on social and economic issues with their own beliefs. American grass root organizations must push changing political rhetoric into actions. You do not change policies and laws by dialoguing way out on the fringes of reality.
    • The Real Radio, you are so right. Keep speaking the truth my good man. Most folks here on global grind are nothing but Obama puppets and will agree with EVERYTHING our President says and does because they have no mind of there own. Keep dropping knowledge on these Political Puppets.
    • Stuck on Stupid (SOS). You will never affect any change living in the past.
