Go ahead, explain to me why we allow Wall Street use the money people have saved for nothing but it's wrong to see that someone gets an education and not be in debt for years?
I blame Wall Street for the problems of Wall Street, because Wall Street caused Wall Streets problems, and if it wasn't for Wall Street, then Wall Street would never exist and then we would never have had to worry about Wall Street causing all of the problems that Wall Street caused, then Wall Street wouldn't have ruined the country because they were Wall Street.

It's really pretty much that simple. Again, you do not counter any of my arguments or address any of the questions associated with them.

Because when Chicken Little ran through the streets screaming the sky was falling, there really wasn't anything to do other than look at chicken little like a crack pot who had no real arguments. When every problem looks like it needs a hammer to fix it, and one is presented with a screw, that person looks like a maniac trying to hammer a screw.

How is it not a problem that people who saved their entire life is getting nothing on their savings so that Wall Street can use that money to prop themselves up from their incompetence?

Why should GM get billions forgiven but it's wrong to forgive the debt of a college student?

**** GM for making cars that last 3 years,and the people who bought them because...'Merica.... and **** college students for majoring in basket weaving. Every god damn person in this country needs to realize they are on their own and start acting like it. My tax dollars are not to support your cushy life. Work, work hard, save, save like your life depends on it...because it does.

Oh it's very valid but to compare one person in business who failed on a business venture to every lied to immature high school grad who was told college was the only way to achieve the American dream is a joke.The only time I ever stepped foot on a college campus was to build fancy overpriced dorms and I barley graduated high school.I made a fortune on that job and still killing it at 66.Heck I can hardly spell and pull 80 a year with my talented hands and skill. got a problem with working and creating things get a 200,000 degree and let the Parfleche's and Mexicans do the work.Jokes on them not me.

Irrelevant. Also, nothing more than a rant that doesn't change anything. People are still getting next to nothing on their savings.

Where are the people demanding that GM pay us back? Where are the people demanding that Trump live up to and pay his debts?

we should NOT have bailed out the failed companies of GM and Chrysler ...


no more bailouts ... no more picking and choosing certain companies over others

no more bailout...no to failed insurance companies, not to failed financial companies, not to failed auto companies, not to cant even start up solar companies... and especially not to quazi-governmental companies like fannie/Freddie

and no, we should not forgive people who took out loans, and don't want to pay back the loan they contracted on
