(62,325 posts)which so far as I recall, no one seems to care about at all. Are you aware of how many millions of Americans lost their homes because of corruption on Wall St and rather than prosecute the perpetrators, they were bailed out, agreements were made to avoid holding them accountable, and nothing has been done to help those thrown in many cases, illegally, out of their homes?
I'm not buying that anyone in DC cares one bit about the working class who have received no help, and I know this from personal experience, in retrieving what was stolen from them.
Let's start by helping the people to get some accountability from the crooks who caused all of this.
Is there anything being done to stop the illegal foreclosures eg, as was done in Iceland as soon as the corruption was uncovered? That can be done separately and Dems can start to initiate investigations into what happened to the money that disappeared from our economy. Start prosecuting the crooks, confiscating their ill-gotten gains, nationalizing failed institutions and start creating jobs.
Scare tactics don't work so well anymore on a population that has already been devastated by the huge losses they have already sustained and about which nothing has been done.
Those tactics only work on people who have a lot to lose. That has already happened to millions of Americans.
Now it's time to stop the game playing and to start working on real solutions.
