AS the Top Ten Culprits of the Collapse continues to roll out, we wonder when the first politician will make an appearance on Anderson Cooper’s list.
AIG/Cassano, Lehman/Fuld, SEC/Cox…those in the government who played pivotal roles in the financial fiasco are many.

Who is to blame for this monumental financial meltdown that is sucking the lifebood out of the taxpayers?
While the politicians have said now is not the time to point fingers, many of us believe that now is EXACTLY the time to hold the culprits responsible.
With a few exceptions, the perpetrators have been referred to as predatory lenders, CEO’s, liberal lending policies (which is a thing not a person, but politicians are at the root of this category,) manipulative traders, and lying mortgage applicants.

Just the tip of today’s prognostications!…
But be assured that Barney Frank announced today that the bailout was aimed basically at Joe Sixpack - the auto salespeople, construction workers, people in small businesses - not the banks; he said they were going to do “just fine.”
The bailout was to take the burden off the “average citizen,” and not aimed at helping out the wealthy “Wall St.” types.
