If you want to see the criminality of the U.S. government in all its glory, observe that Rep. Barney Frank, one of the men responsible for the current economic debacle, will head the investigation into what caused that debacle.
About the bailout of Wall Street, Frank had the nerve to say, "We were the EMTs rushing to the rescue of an economy that suddenly found itself choking, but now we have to perform more serious reform."
A better analogy would be this: Frank & Co. were choking the American people and while doing so, they picked the people's pockets and handed their money to Wall Street.
When will guys like this finally go to prison?

They will never go to prison. They won't even be held accountable nor popularly blamed. Over 70 years later we are still unwilling to hold FDR and his cronies accountable.
Sadly true.
