Why Haven’t Any Wall Street Tycoons Been Sent to the Slammer?

by Kevin G. Hall – McClatchy Newspapers

More than a year into the gravest financial crisis since the Great Depression, millions of Americans have seen their home values and retirement savings plunge and their jobs evaporate.

What they haven’t seen are any Wall Street tycoons forced to swap their multi-million dollar jobs and custom-made suits for dishwashing and prison stripes.

There are plenty of civil and class-action lawsuits from aggrieved investors angered by the losses in their mortgage bonds, hedge funds or pensions. Regulators have stepped up their vigilance after the fact. But to date, no captain of finance tied to the crisis has walked the plank.

Goldman Takes On New Role: Taking Away People’s Homes

By Greg Gordon — McClatchy Newspapers

When she wrote to [Henry aka Hank] Paulson,  lawyers for Goldman denied that it owned the Beckers’ mortgages. So did Germany’s Deutsche Bank, a trustee that was holding thousands of subprime mortgages Goldman had converted to bonds….

Vistims of Goldman Sachs

Tony and his wife, Celia

When California wildfires ruined their jewelry business, Tony Becker and his wife fell months behind on their mortgage payments and experienced firsthand the perils of subprime mortgages.

The couple wound up in a desperate, six-year fight to keep their modest, 1,500-square-foot San Jose home, a struggle that pushed them into bankruptcy.

How Goldman Secretly Bet on the U.S. Housing Crash

by Greg Gordon – McClatchy Newspapers

Despite updating its numerous disclosures to investors in 2007, Goldman never revealed its secret wagers….

WASHINGTON — In 2006 and 2007, Goldman Sachs Group peddled more than $40 billion in securities backed by at least 200,000 risky home mortgages, but never told the buyers it was secretly betting that a sharp drop in U.S. housing prices would send the value of those securities plummeting.

Goldman’s sales and its clandestine wagers, completed at the brink of the housing market meltdown, enabled the nation’s premier investment bank to pass most of its potential losses to others before a flood of mortgage defaults staggered the U.S. and global economies.

Are You Ready for the Next Crisis?

By Paul Craig Roberts – VDare.com

A narco-state is bad enough. The US surpasses this horror with its financo-state…

Evidence that the US is a failed state is piling up faster than I can record it.

One conclusive hallmark of a failed state is that the crooks are inside the government, using government to protect and to advance their private interests.

Another conclusive hallmark is rising income inequality as the insiders manipulate economic policy for their enrichment at the expense of everyone else.

Looking Under the TARP: Why They Call It Fall

By Dave Lindorff — Counterpunch

Bank BailoutThe long and the short of it is that we’ve been taken for a very big and costly ride by banks that created a huge crisis and that then got the government to bail them out of it with our money, and by two administrations, one Republican and now one Democratic, that have been submissive and willing servants of the big banks….

The Economy is a Lie Too

Paul Craig Roberts – Chronicles Magazine

Since the spring of this year, the value of the U.S. dollar has collapsed against every currency except those pegged to it. The Swiss franc has risen 14 percent against the dollar. Every hard currency from the Canadian dollar to the Euro and British pound has risen at least 13 percent against the U.S. dollar since April 2009. The Japanese yen is not far behind, and the Brazilian real has risen 25 percent against the almighty U.S. dollar. Even the Russian ruble has risen 13 percent against the U.S. dollar. What sort of recovery is it when the safest investment is to bet against the U.S. dollar?

U.S. to Push For New Economic World Order at G20

By Alister Bull – Reuters

The United States will urge world leaders this week to launch a new push in November to rebalance the world economy, but there are doubts national governments will bow to external advice.

A document outlining the U.S. position ahead of the September 24-25 Group of 20 summit in Pittsburgh said exporters, which include China, Germany and Japan, should consume more, while debtors like the United States ought to boost savings.

“The world will face anemic growth if adjustments in one part of the global economy are not matched by offsetting adjustments in other parts,” said the document, which was obtained by Reuters on Monday.

What Fed-Audit Legislation Would Mean

By Sudeep Reddy – The Wall Street Journal

Overturning current limits on government audits of the Federal Reserve has become a key goal of the central bank’s critics inside and outside Congress.

House lawmakers are expected to seek a comprehensive audit of the Federal Reserve system by the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, as part of a broader overhaul of financial regulation this fall. But the precise scope of such an audit remains undetermined.

Americans: Serfs Ruled by Oligarchs

by Paul Craig Roberts

paulcraigroberts.jpg“In a little time [there will be] no middling sort. We shall have a few, and but a very few Lords, and all the rest beggars.” ~ R.L. Bushman

“Rapidly you are dividing into two classes – extreme rich and extreme poor.” ~ “Brutus”

Americans think that they have “freedom and democracy” and that politicians are held accountable by elections. The fact of the matter is that the US is ruled by powerful interest groups who control politicians with campaign contributions. Our real rulers are an oligarchy of financial and military/security interests and AIPAC, which influences US foreign policy for the benefit of Israel.
