Alan,   "Tarting up houses" as you put it are still being shown on Cable TV. Shows like Flip this House are on almost daily.


I am also seeing big expensive TV commercials for banks that no longer exist or if they do exist are already swallowed by other banks.

ITs like I am looking at ghosts. Most Republicans still tout their deregulated Free Trade, Free Market globalisation schemes and supply side Super Capitalism voodoo as the answer.

Talking heads everywhere are chanting the talking point that pointing the finger of blame is useless....well if I were one of those talking heads and didn't want to go to a REAL prison I suppose I would say that too.

We need a Nuremberg style court that will prosecute the gross offenders as well as the enablers who profited greatly.

For these crooks to make $100,000 in commission they had to defraud buyers of about 10,000,000 dollars. To profit relatively so little at such a great cost to the world should demand a large punishment.

Chinese justice employs capital punishment in a heartbeat...literally.
We should be more forgiving by no means should we EVER consider white collar prisons for these scum.
