Former trader Max Keiser has been calling for years for crooked bankers to be hanged, to send a message that crime won’t be tolerated. But Nouriel Roubini is a lot more mainstream than Keiser – or even Stiglitz – being very close to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. See this and this. Roubini told Bloomberg that nothing has changed since the start of the financial crisis, and we might need to throw bankers in jail – or hang them in the streets – before they’ll change: Nobody has gone to jail since the financial crisis. The banks, they do things that are illegal and at best they slap on them a fine. If some people end up in jail, maybe that will teach a lesson to somebody. Or somebody hanging in the streets. - I noted 7 years ago: I am NOT calling for the overthrow of the government. In fact, I am calling for the reinstatement of our government. I am calling for an end to lawless dictatorship and a return to the rule of law. Rather than trying to subvert the constitution, I am calling for its enforcement. *** The best way to avoid all types of revolution would be for the government to start following the rule of law. I passionately hope it will do so. The fact that even mainstream economists like Roubini are talking about hanging bankers shows that this is the last chance for the justice system – the only thing which stands between criminals on Wall Street and pitchforks – to work. - [link to www.washingtonsblog.com] Which then they steal back from taxpayers in the form of a "bailout". Don't you just absolutely love Usury. The thought of giving a fine to bank that can print money to pay it, is completely ridiculous. Last Edited by Say No to 1984 on 07/10/2012 12:38 PM |
