If Geithner and Summers as well as the refusal to audit the federal reserve does not prove there is no difference between republican and democratic members of congress I do not know what will.

We all seem to like our personal 3 reps in congress but seem to hate everyone else's.

We must start voting out the incumbents every election. At a minimum run someone against them in the primaries in order to remind them of who they work for.. As of now every congressman works for the corporations.

Can any of us say congress is representing the people in any aspect from the military to health care.
(When I read the military is buying rucksacks with their own money because the plastic govt issue does not get the job done (democratic rule and the military did not have the plating on their vehicles necessary to prevent bullets and many IEDs (republican rule)) and I doubt if anyone understands how the health-care bill will affect us. History proves that the majority of laws congress passes costs us more money. Personally I cannot think of any legislation ever passed that saved the regular Joe any money.

We all talk reform and congress only gives us lip service. Must be a great job.

Until we get
donations limited to congressional districts and no money from business or pacs

12 year limits on serving in congress

illegal for spouse to be a lobbyist

10 years after leaving congress before becoming a lobbyi

This would be a good place to startcleaning house and then to the House!

In the last year alone, of the 535 members of congress:

36 have been accused of spousal abuse

7 have been arrested for fraud

19 have been accused of writing bad checks

117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

3 have done time for assault

71 Cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

8 have been arrested for shoplifting

21currently are defendants in lawsuits,

84 have been arrested for drunk driving

The same group of criminals that crank out
Hundreds of new laws each year
Designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Greed and corruption

We see big corporations and we see corrupt politicians all over the world that by all counts should be held accountable for their actions, but alas no one is being arrested or even investigated. In fact no one is being held accountable for any criminal behavior.
We have reached a point in our history where the crooks fear no law enforcement action or any prosecution.  We are seeing the global gangsters come into view and if we didn't already have so many problems with our own corrupt criminal class of politicians that we now also have to keep an eye on the other international gangsters that have ideas of ruling the world.
We must end corruption in government and in private sector corporations, but we must also return our judicial system to pursuing real criminals that are right before our eyes.

Goldman Sachs is the global leader of social interference, selfish indulgance and lack of moral conviction and standards. They care not who they harm to earn incomes based on no social or economic benefits to anyone. They manufacture nothing, they produce nothing they contribute nothing to society.

They subscribe to the quote of Meyer Rothschild - the creator of the Central Banking System - who said:

"Let me control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its' laws"

I pledge subservience
To the greed
Of the Too Big To Fail Banks of America
And to the oligarchy
For which they stand
One nation, under Goldman, uncontrollable
With usury and inequity for all

I just read in a news articles that AIG's executives slated for another round of mind-numbing bonuses were pointing to laws as reasons why the bonuses could not be interfered with by legislators or regulators. OK - suppose one agrees with them. I find such executives' as well as many other executives' throughout the financial industry respect for law admirable. I find their selective respect for law despicable--and it has also proven to be demonstrably hazardous to the health of the country.

Inevitably legislators and regulators will back off because they do not want to be seen as trifling with laws. What's puzzling to me however is why these legislators and regulators recognizing that such bonuses are outrageous and also corrosive of the financial and social system do not utilize other relevant laws which would be effective in controlling heedless and in many cases criminal executive behavior.

Executives in the financial sector who were oblivious to laws in amassing their fortunes now try to rely on laws to protect these fortunes and also to increase them. There are laws against fraud, unfair trade practices, and other germane matters. As the executives loudly now call for respect for the law, the legislators and regulators play along with them--while both groups concertedly look away from other laws. Thus the charade of the equitable application of the law goes on.
