especially this: "Irresponsible lending practices caused this bust, and the managers of every institution who approved the extremely risky loans should be fired and fined heavily, if not imprisoned. These lending institutions should be liquidated, their assets seized, and licenses pulled permanently."

No one is accountable for anything anymore. The predations continue, in every area of our society, and no one in power has to answer for their crimes.

In my county paper this week there were four entire pages listing Sheriff's Sale of Real Estate. Wells Fargo Bank most often listed. Where is the accountability???

I hope, in their next life, Bush and his entire Crime Family have to spend their entire lives living under a bridge. In a cold climate.
