What do you want? What will you settle for?

[ColbertWatcher]

Poll question: What do you want? What will you settle for?

[dem629]

1. Investigations before the penalty phase.

[ColbertWatcher]

2. Aww crap. I knew I forgot something. n/t

[dysfunctional press]

3. not every person 'involved' in the financial collapse did anything illegal to cause it.

many of them did nothing 'wrong', and played fully within the albeit poorly thought-out(or not) sets of rules that that had been put into place by the corrupt greedheads in dc.

4. That is actually two separate questions.

What I want is A and E.
But being practical I know that is not going to happen in my lifetime.
so I will settle for what ever we can get from this with the understanding that this must not ever be allowed to go this far again.

[Quantess]

5. Emphasis on choice "E".

Criminal charges would be great, too.

[ColbertWatcher]

6. Sunday kick. n/t

[saltpoint]

7. I essentially want 4 things:

I want the people who are hurting, who are jobless, who are homeless, who are in dire straits in one or more of these kinds of areas -- I want them to be addressed and thereby honored and their needs met. I want those who are falling to be helped up and bolstered. This is a hope for the immediate response, the right-now, we-need-help response. I don't want to hear a bunch of bullshit about FEMA trailers; I want people who need and deserve help to receive it.

Next I want those responsible for putting people in harm's way to be investigated, and where found to be complicit in others' loss and abandonment, properly adjudicated.

Then I want sharp-toothed legislation to do everything possible to ensure that the same set of circumstances is not repeated. No sundown clause, but a permanent, long-standing, generational-defining bill. I'd like former Senator Bill Bradley and current Senator Barbara Boxer to write it.

Last I want an expansive new stimulus bill to provide work for those willing to work, which is almost everyone. It would cost a lot more. Let it.

8. I want your post printed and nailed on every Congressman's door! Bravo! n/t

10. Hey there, ColbertWatcher.

:hi:

[ColbertWatcher]

12. :hi: Backatcha! n/t

[leftstreet]

9. +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1

:applause:

[Cresent City Kid]

11. There's a problem to prosecution

Some of what was done was legal, albeit wrong. The laws, or lack thereof are a bigger problem than the ones on the books that were broken. I'm not against prosecution, far from it, just don't stop there.

[spoony]

13. Drat, I thought this would be another thread about monogamy

:P


But, seriously, want: a/e, would settle for: b/e.

[Liberal_in_LA]

14. That's two questions - what I want, what I'll settle for.

but I'll vote anyway

[suede1]

15. An easy F.

Now I hope it happens.
