    So these banks can just make a payment to these states and it will go away. Why are these perpetrators not in jail like Bernie Madoff for their schemes? The answer is that the States are strapped for cash and if they can get some from the banks, that is what they will do. Unfortunately, the taxpayers have already bailed these banks out so all this is on our dime.

    What Bernie Madoff did was illegal, so he went to jail. What these banks did was perfectly legal. It was slimy and morally repugnant, but legal. That’s what happens when you loosen regulations to the point that businesses do whatever they feel like doing.

    In response to the “how could this have happened?” financial crisis of 2008-2009, Congress passed Dodd-Frank which is intended to reign in these financial institutions to prevent what happened before. And what has been the response from the people who create sound bites for the Republican Party? “Obama is killing us with regulations!”

    So, we can either regulate these banks and other financial institutions that cause these problems, making what they did illegal, or, we can let history repat itself and let it happen all over again. Your call.

      In my view, what the banks did was slimy, repugnant and also illegal since there was deception involved. These people had to know this was not a good thing to perpetrate on the buyers. The buyers of these packages of loans were also at fault and were probably greedy as well. It is amazing how stupid people were when this was going on.

    Joey, I generall agree with you, but I don’t want the government to start any companies since they are supremely ignorant of how business works. Last year, they gave $535 million tax payer dollars to the solar panel company in California which just went belly up and laid off 1,000 workers. The only way to create jobs is to give incentives to the small business sector for tax breaks and getting rid of stifling regulations. Free up the oil/gas industry and they will create 250,000 good paying jobs and as a bonus, we can become energy independent.

    Joey, It is all about politics with this administration. The officers of this company were big contributors to the Democratic Party and Obama. They probably made their contributions with our tax payer dollars. This green agenda has not worked anywhere. Spain tried it and they are almost bankrupt. Seattle got $20 million for weatherizing and created 14 jobs. Pretty expensive way to create jobs, don’t you think and they will all be gone when the money runs out. The only way to do it is private sector and to create the energy we need with incentives to develop, not having the Feds do it. They are very lousy at creating good jobs.
