I will try to post a reminder Tuesday. This should be good entertainment value,
AND
who wants to start the pool on which banksters refuse to show?
And if they do refuse to show, any bets on them getting a free pass?

1. don't persecute the Banksters
Edited on Sun Jan-10-10 02:26 PM by 90-percent
If they don't show up, I'm sure they will provide a perfectly acceptable excuse. It can be hard to travel in winter, you know.

And they run multi billion dollar enterprises. Surely congress should appreciate how precious their time really is!

2. Financial Crisis, the shocking continuing story
Does anyone or everyone get the ramifications of the Fed set to finish buying $1.25 trillion worth of mortgages? Or what happens next when they stop buying them?

The treasury, with tax dollars or public debt, is funding the Fed, a private corporation embedded within the US government, to buy home mortgages? Nationalization of people's homes?

And the focus and outcry is about nationalizing some parts of the healthcare system?
