Running List of Unpunished Fraud, Coercion, Tax EvasionI have a huge ongoing list of fraud and coercion at the very top, including Geithner, Bernanke, and Paulson but nothing will ever happen.

The Big Compromise
When all the political hacks (the worst politicians money can buy) get together to vote on a "compromise", no one ever gives up anything. Somehow in these compromises, more things we cannot afford get tossed onto the plate.
I am thoroughly disgusted with the most recent "compromise" that will add $900 billion to the deficit over two years. Everyone in Congress should know the bill is fiscal insanity. Yet the democrats and deficit-hawk hypocrites will vote for it anyway.
The "compromise" is so convoluted that I am wondering if Ben Bernanke himself persuaded the president to go for it.
Bernanke certainly has been pushing for stimulus. He defended his actions in a creampuff interview on 60 Minutes that was really nothing more than an infomercial begging for more stimulus.
The Tax Cut Compromise helps the ruling class and lays the groundwork for reductions in Social Security and other middle class benefits. Tell your congressmen/women "NO" to extending Tax Breaks, especially for the wealthiest in the country. We can not afford this spending now. Remember, Tax Cuts are the same as spending.
