Do yourselves a favour and watch it !!!!! If you don't find yourself pretty pissed off and cranky there's something wrong with you.
These filthy Wall Street Bankers all need to be charged, prosecuted and go to gaol , however, not one of them has faced a court to this date and the entire bunch of these arseholes have kept every single dollar they ripped off from the entire world. Greedy Pricks
Obummer was going to track 'em down and deal with 'em. He sure did, he tracked 'em down alright and then he employed most of the thieving turds.

Yep.

Three words explain it all: Sub-Prime Mortgage Loans. Instituted by Jimmy Carter and exploited by the Clinton Administration.
Someone needs to find the Barney Frank clip where he says there is nothing wrong with Freddy or Fannie.
Government intervention into the free market never works.

Sorry Phil but though some of it may be true, it's narrated by Matt Damon, Actor, Socialist, loudmouthed POS from the center of political corruption, Boston, MA. It loses all credibility after seeing that! Kind of like Al Gore and global warming..
It's purely propaganda for the leftists...it's not a crime to make a profit regardless of how shady it appears.
Magoo hit the nail on the head. It's the political corruption that's at the root of all of this countries ills.

How about Congressional (legal) insider trading? I wonder when RP knew, not that he ever gained from the practice himself...
Was this ever illegal, or was it sanctioned by some Banking Committee within our memories?
Just a thought...

I believe that they're trying to end the practice now! Certainly raises some questions about the fox guarding the hen house though!

That's a real question, though... When did this become okay in the first place?

Same time that the congresscritters thought it ethical to vote themselves huge raises I'd expect.

Just seeing the people they were talking to, including George Soros. It's a hit piece against Wall street. Why is it so hard to understand that the stock markets are a driving force in our economy? Admittedly, they have made trading very complicated and convoluted. Being able to leverage, and short selling. Things of that nature. It used to be that you simply bought a stock and the performance of that company determined whether or not you made money. Unfortunately company performance is a very small factor in stock prices these days. Which is most of the reason for the huge swings we see in the market. However, you show your ignorance by blaming the people that make their money through the market. They have rules that they have to play by, and it is congress that makes those rules. (And exempting themselves from them)

I wouldn't get my hopes up...check out this link.
I haven't gone through the whole thing but insider trading has been going of for a loooooong time.
http://insidertrading.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=002391
From the link:
The career of [former US Congressman] Russell Sage is a prime example of chicanery combined with financial acuity... The period prior to the Civil War saw Sage engaged in many railroad deals, usually using his insider's knowledge gained in Congress to move in on deals at the appropriate time...

When it involves Washington D.C., my hopes are seldom up but rather, dashed!
I have absolutely no faith in the Government of the United States of America anymore! The American people need to step up and deal a decisive blow for the Republic in the next election! The president is the least of my concerns as I've stated before. He needs to go but the 535 need a wake up call or an unemployment check!

And how about Newt's deal with these fine folks? If you think this a partisan problem you're a tool. Newt should not be let off the hook on this one. He has some 'splainin to do.

FQ,
The guy you voted for never explained where he got the money to attend Harvard either did he?
No one excused Newt for anything, at least not me! He was the reason I left the GOP about 15 years ago. Lets focus on getting Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi or anyone that doesn't believe in small "little g" government, out of the .gov and move forward! We all know you don't like Newt, Romney, Huntsman, Bachman or anyone with a smidgeon of Conservative values.
Find some common ground that doesn't involve ten paragraphs or you're diatribe!
-
The movie is a bunch of BS.
I saw George Soros, I didn't see Maxine Waters or Barney Frank saying that the only reason banks verified income of applicants was to deny blacks.
I surprised at Phil posting this.
How can some one who posted

Turn around and post this piece of OCCUPY propaganda ?

That wasn't meant to be a diatribe. It was (I hope) common ground. Eg, we need to make it clear that we won't take this crap from either party. The revolving door from Congress to lobbyists making 6 figure fees needs to be closed. Nothing partisan about that.

It was a preemptive strike on your diatribe! ;D
As to the rest, I agree! We need to hold these a-holes feet to the fire on everything and make them accountable. It still doesn't mean I wouldn't vote for the Newt!
Bobo the Clown or anyone with a US birth certificate that can get at least a passing grade on the Citizenship exam for immigrants would be fine with me! I don't really care who the President is for 2012-16 as long as it's not the current one!

Sadly I agree, but lord if its a choice between Newt and Mitt it will be physically painful for me..... I like Newt a lot as a commentator, but President, well, he can't be worse I guess. :P

Yeah, I watched it about 6 months ago. It was actually available on a DVD at the local Red Box. I reckon it was a dollar well spent.
Just coincidentally, Dominique Strauss-Kahn was interviewed quite a bit during the Inside Job documentary. And just coincidentally, like the creator of wiki leaks, DSK was involved in a sex scandal rape allegation fiasco.
Makes me think DSK had touched a few nerves with his negatives comments about our Federal Reserve during the documentary and was subsequently set up.

Have you paid any attention to the glittering success of Europe's economic genius's in the last couple years ?
The same stupid shite being promoted by BO and the dems is what broke Europe.
Liberals, the people who turned the British Empire into an Island of unemployed Paki's .

A tool, huh?
You're right this is just as bipartisan as Gun Control ::) Where are all the republican programs that demanded banks loan money to people the banks knew couldn't repay the loans under threat of DOJ investigations? Or the Fannie Mae or Freddy Mac CEOs that were former republican congressman/senators/party member and lined their pockets with cash? Newt was a consultant, they paid him for his knowledge over the course of 8 years, thats two years longer that Fanklin Reins worked there before quitting and working for Clinton-NO conflict there?!
If I'm a tool, you're automated poo dispenser.

Not automated, He's just so full it oozes out.
Kind of like a hooker with a runny nose. ;D
But to belabor the point , what gay Rep Senator was shacked up with the gay head of Freddy Mac when he was supposed to be in charge of overseeing it ?
And if you want to get into the debt debate, where are the self defeating Rep. welfare programs ?
It wasn't the R's that stole the money out of Social Security causing an otherwise sound program to go broke.
Come to think of it it was a D administration that lost money on the "Mustang Ranch" as well.

I wasn't calling you a tool Magoo. That was a generalized use of the term. I get tired of folks on both sides pointing the finger at the other side when it comes to corruption, as though just changing parties was the issue. This is systemic not a partisan problem. If you were an elected official you shouldn't bde allowed to be a lobbyist, er consultant, to folks with issues before Congress. Sorry if it came across as a shot at you, it wasn't intended that way.

I know I just used it as fuel to drive me to think, I'm tired. Stinking teenage daughters!
I know there are entrenched power brokers on both sides (we need to get them all out, but that's another topic) that participate but the issue at hand was perpetuated if not entirely, nearly so by the left.
