"As 2011 slithers to its end, none of the major problems that led to the crisis point three years ago have really been solved. Bank balance sheets still reek. Europe day by day becomes a financial black hole, with matter from the periphery being sucked toward the center until the vortex itself collapses. The Street and its ministries of propaganda have fallen back on a Big Lie as old as capitalism itself: that all that has gone wrong has been government’s fault."

"But it won’t just end with taxes. When the great day comes, Wall Street will pray for another Pecora, because compared with the rough beast now beginning to strain at the leash, Pecora will look like Phil Gramm. Humiliation and ridicule, even financial penalties, will be the least of the Street’s tribulations. There will be prosecutions and show trials. There will be violence, mark my words. Houses burnt, property defaced. I just hope that this time the mob targets the right people in Wall Street and in Washington."
About Me
- LanceM
- I am a person who was raised as a full-fledged "Republican"... in fact, I named my middle son (now age 29) 'Reagan'. But, within 3 years of that I began to wake up to the misrepresentations then lies and later the criminal behavior of "my" party. Eventually, I felt I had to do something to help. These 'blogs' are that attempt.
