This.

Tough to hear people biatch and moan about corruption in politics when they keep voting the same douchebags in year after year. Vote in the primaries people, for farks sake. And in special circumstances, cross party lines for a cycle. You better believe I'd vote (R) to get Charlie Rangel out.

If I remember right, Birmingham's problems came when the then-mayor's response to the federal government's request to upgrade their water treatment system was to buy the largest, most extravagant, most expensive water system available, when they would have been just as fine with a smaller, more sensible water management system.

It's not JP Morgan, it's their corrupt politicians. Throw the bastards in prison. California is stuck paying above market rates for electricity for 25 years because an incompetent democrat had an incompetent bureaucrat negotiate the rate and paid him $250,000 per year to do it. Gov Gray Davis got recalled for that but California can't get out of the contract and California went to court to break the contract and the judges just laughed in our faces.

I doubt the whole incompetence thing, I think they both got paid to sell us down the river.

NuttierThanEver: cept the proletariat out there currently is so fooled by the GOP propaganda machine that is Fox news they'll go after the darkie in the White House instead of the corporate bastards who truly are to blame.

cept the leftists out there are so fooled by the Democratic propaganda machine that is the MSM that they'll go after anyone besides the government and politicians who enable and actively participate in corruption.

Or we can realize that the real problem is both government AND the corporations that government enables.

In a case like this where we have so much proof that the Banks were predatory in their lending practices down to bribing elected officials, I believe the loans should be forgiven as a warning to lenders to not do stupid shiat like that again. I agree the officials were stupid/greedy to let them get away with it, but $150 for water/sewage is highway robbery. I have filled a swimming pool up twice in a month and mine has never been more than $55.

Debeo Summa Credo: Trelane: Or instead of only blaming JP Morgan, how about blaming their corrupt officials? It takes two sides for bribery, a giver and a receiver.

Not saying that JP Morgan is in the clear here, but they're not the only problem.

No, no, no. EVERYTHING BAD IS 100% THE FAULT OF BANKS AND WALL STREET!! Any time a government official or ordinary citizen of the 99% makes an imprudent decision it's only because they were tricked by the greedy banks and their CEOs.

seems like JP Morgan intentionally offered bad advice that put an undue amount of risk on the taxpayers in order to pump up the fees and revenues from the underwriting. To my mind, that's fraud and should be criminally and civilly punished.

I can't figure out why someone who has lost everything in this bullshiat hasn't gone Rambo on a bunch of CEO's and Wall Street types.

Shelco here as well. When you have a certain voter base electing the same group of corrupt officials expecting increased handouts, this is what you get. Now they want beyotch about it.

Jeffco gets what it deserves. Funny how they are going to charge a sewer fee to people on septic.

So JP Morgan offers a ridiculously shady bond issuance that may or may not actually consist of bonds, and then bribes the county commission to accept it.

The county commission accepts the bribes and accepts the proposal without actually understanding it.

Fark argues vehemently over whether to blame JP Morgan, Republicans, Democrats, Obama, or the inability to legally defecate in one's back yard.

Any wonder why the American People are losing?

well I guess fines are used because you really shouldn't put someone in jail for being bad at their jobs. If you can prove that they offered bad advice because the advice they gave would generate more revenues for the bank, that's something different.

Guess what, this type of BS is going on all over the place on a massive scale. We (the people) have let corruption infiltrate our system and have let politicians borrow massive amounts of money (because we wouldn't let them raise taxes). There will be riots.

blame your government for selling you out, sir.

The sewage system was supposed to cost $300 million. However, since the project started in 1996, the costs have risen to $3.1 billion after various problems and a series of bond and derivatives deals fell through in 2008.

Damn alabama unions!!!!
