Palin To Clean Up Wall Street?

Jump to Comments

The markets are dirty; always have been, always will be. Some issues being discussed in this debate I have to take at face value because I am not an expert in those fields. When Governor Palin promises to “get rid of greed and corruption on Wall Street,” I immediately recognize it as a boast like unto “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.”

There are a lot of lies being told and impossible promises being made by both candidates, most of which I can only guess at. But the one promise I am absolutely certain is impossible to keep is the one Palin just reiterated “to not allow the greed and corruption on Wall Street anymore.” After that, I laughed out loud and turned off the TV. In my estimation, Wall Street will be clean of greed and corruption when politicians are.

A quote from Wall Street comes to mind, “Well ladies and gentlemen, we’re not here to indulge in fantasy but in political and economic reality…”  Watch the timeless speech that extols greed as a virtue.

  • LJ, agreed. As far as wheels in motion, I couldn't agree more. I think they are railroad wheels rolling along and making hobos out of all of us.

    Nothing like a Hobo Village... No creature comforts and lots of head lice. At least the lice will live like kings again. It has been a while since they made a real come back.

    Why cant people just get it right for once... People who will not self govern can never be made to obey laws and correct principles. The die has been cast and the wheels are in motion. I am certain that the whomever becomes our next President will spend all of his time and ink trying to keep the big money happy. Yes there will be a new economy and a new bull market some day, but the real problems that exist in this country are and will be swept under the rug, EVERY TIME the establishment is in harms way. NOTHING threatens the establishment more than change that protects basic liberties. I hope the bloggers of this country can leverage the right to a free press to off-set this tide of lies. Eyes will open at some point, but when?
