I know lots of people have lost jobs on Wall st. and we are still reading about job cuts.

Many people in America for that matter have lost jobs or have had their incomes suffer as a direct result of the financial debacle.

Could a class action lawsuit be brought against the world’s  largest banks, mortgage companies, rating agencies, and regulators for colluding in a profit scheme that directly affected the income and livelihoods of millions ?

Think about it. Municipalities and funds the world over are suing for losses.

All different types of industries like investment professionals could sue for loss of wages and or careers.

You lawyers need think  about it and  get paid on this one.

Never forget the actions of a few to collude, conspire, create, and peddle worthless paper as AAA caused the economy  to halt there by creating a lack of confidence, loss of income, homelessness, etc

A close friend once told me he did not like the president and his policies, but voted along party lines.

I had to reconsider my friendship…a two party system is stupid.

A top House Republican Wednesday signaled new flexibility on White House demands to close wasteful or ineffective tax loopholes as a way to bridge differences with President Barack Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats in talks on a plan to reduce the deficit and pave the way to increase the government’s borrowing authority.

“If the president wants to talk loopholes, we’ll be glad to talk loopholes,” said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va. Cantor added that any revenues raised from closing such loopholes “should be coupled with offsetting tax cuts somewhere else.”

Cantor’s comments reflected important, if nuanced, flexibility for Republicans. His earlier position was that closing loopholes should wait for a comprehensive effort to reform the tax code.

Cantor declined to specify what tax cuts should be financed by any new loophole-related revenues, but he declined to rule out using them to pay for renewing expiring tax cuts like a popular credit for new research and development that’s popular with businesses.

The show of flexibility comes in advance of a White House meeting Thursday between Obama and top congressional leaders.
