It's time that the bankers have guardrails and those guardrails can be provided by congress if we put serious pressure on them. I'm talking about 300,000 people marching on the Capitol complex.

To now say that it's about time....would be too late. This shows everyone participating in the OWS group that they need to quit hanging out on Wall Street, and head down to DC and put some pressure on the politicians to investigate more of the Wall Street crooks.

Yeah I can think of five other Goldman Sachs jerks that need to go to jail right now.

Which ones?

the worst thing about corporations is that you can send everyone in them to jail, and then a whole bunch of new staff sit in and do the same thing again, under the corporations name.

Yes but jail is a real deterrent. These guys are used to massages, mistresses and manicures. Once their colleagues back at the office get word of how bad it is in there, tey tend to straighten up and fly right for a bit.

The heads of many large firms need to be investigated.

Now let's see them go after the CURRENT head of Goldman Sachs and set a REAL example. He knowingly sold his clients junk and then bet against them to make a fortune. He has paid no price for this crime. It is time he go to jail.
