All-Time King of Ponzi’s Gets Jail, Congress gets reelected

Bernie Madoff is set to plead guilty to bilking investors out of $64 billion dollars today. In his wake is the destruction of retirement funds, charities, and individuals who have seen their life savings stolen from them. The despair, grief and utter hopelessness of his victims is evidenced by at least two suicides. The all-time king of ponzi schemes could be sentenced to 150 years in prison. The “Bernie Madoff” Congress on the other hand, who orchestrated the Great Financial Meltdown of 2008 and has flushed over two trillion dollars of taxpayer bailout money down the bailout sewer, is not planning on pleading guilty to anything.  The carnage of the Congressional wake is breathtaking; unemployment at 8.1 percent  with 12.5 million people out of work and a forecast of over 10 percent unemployed by the end of 2009;  Home foreclosures up thirty percent from February; 401K, IRA values hammered below fifty percent of their value a year ago; and a stock market tanked below 7000. Proud of their work all Congressional incumbents fully expect to be reelected in 2010.
