Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Here is best solution I have seen. Two of the most respected investors agree. Pay the ####ers in TOXIC ASSESTS! Genius.

Read My lips. They basically say that the bankers and regulators like Pauson, Greenspan, Geithner should be payed in the so called Toxic Assests as they were responsible for them in the first place. Mention Bernie Maddof. Who was supposed to be watching him pull off multi billion $ scandel? Rules were in place and no one enforced them. Watch when you get a chance. Just nice to see some common sense every once in a while.
Maybe we can get a Gov grant to get you some new speakers. I wouldn't gripe about that one.

I do not use the speakers. I also do not look at videos when I am on the road. Keeps the air card usage down.

If I am in a restaurant or the drivers lounge using the computer, it is very rude to have speakers on in my opinion. So, I keep them disabled.

As you said, rules were broken, no one paid the price.

Credit Suisse First Boston paid their people in toxic assets as 2008 bonuses.

They are up 17% on average on their money as of August.

That interview puts the lie to the capitalism has failed carpolla. Let the failed go down the tubes. Shut down Freddie, Fannie, and FHA. Repeal the "Community Re-Investment Act". That is the cause of a lot of bogus paper. Bankers trying to lay off the risk from bad loans they were forced to make.

They were... and
They still are BD.
If they weren't allowed (in the same TARP legislation) to commit accounting
fraud by not 'marking to market'..... every Bank that participated in ponzi is absolutely underwater.
Notice EVERY bank that has been 'bought out' by the larger fish in the past year.....
has had their assets DISCOUNTED between 30-35%.
Why is that?
Because when they are BOUGHT.... they can't lie about their actual value rather then their 'book' value.
The Truth comes out.
The Government and the Banks continue to perpetuate the fraud.....
they are trying to fix the price of the housing market and
prevent the market from CORRECTING itself.

It

will

never

work.
