Wall St. Is Winning: Elizabeth Warren "Speechless" About Record Bonuses

The excesses of the "super-rich" are just another sell signal. Keep your eye on the macro situation. Plunging GE revenues, as with state tax revenues, tell the real story. One of two things must happen: Either the government must shrink by about half or there will be a massive inflation followed by a currency crisis. There is *no way* we're going to grow out of this, as GE's results make crystal clear. It is mathematically impossible. Eventually, the comforting illusions fomented by bankers trading stock index futures back and forth are going to hit the hard wall of the economy and monetary reality.

Government should have never got into bed with the market. Buy their property for 50c on the dollar and rent them as social housing but don't buy their stocks! LOL :D

I would seriously consider voting for Ms Warren for President in 2012.

they paid back the tarp money of which the govt made a profit, quit your whining and go back to being a prof, nobody likes you

Ms. Warren is the voice of the common citizen and common sense. Thank you so much not giving our country to Wall St. like everyone else in government.

The banquest is over and the food WAS tainted. Glad I didn't eat. Once the vomitting is over, I will INVEST again and show those gambling Day Traders how to make real money!

That is what the government gets for bailing all these companies out Hey we have the tax payers money let's spread the money // Let me see you get 20 million dollars as a bonus // Oh Joe Blow has a higher position he deserves a 40 million bonus // ans so on...... Let Them fail and when they do they will be out of a job // they will never change they are all thieves

And, now that she has seen the truth behind it all, what is Elizabeth Warren goin to do about it? Or, shall this be treated as business as usual and move on with it? The President does not seem to mind.

I guess you didn't get the memo from Paulson. We YFUs are an intelligent group so think B4 you post please...

OMG!!! Ms Warren should have been appointed Treasury Sec'y, but, alas, she's far too honest and speaks the truth!! Watch out Ms Warren, you'll probably be getting a phone call from the White House and be told to zip it.

Talk is just that...talk. It is meaningless. Change is coming, but the wealthy political class is going to fight it every step of the way. They're going to lose that fight, though, because the tide is going out and they're swimming against it.

A surge in the gold price cometh, perhaps imminently. In the next several weeks, the gold price might jump quickly to the $1500 level. A contact with excellent access to gold transaction information and developments has shared that the sharp price rise could come very soon "due to certain transactions that are being consummated at this very moment. Even if the Boyz try to hold own or depress the price, it will do them no good. The pressure that has been built up is uncontrollable. We shall see some big banks hit the wall very soon (weeks/months). The market will take over in very short order from here on forward." A phase has begun to remove illicit corrupt controls on the gold & silver market, from demand of physical bullion. The same source told a story about events at the London Bullion Market Assn. That market is to London what the COMEX is to the United States, both deep in corruption and government interference, where grossly inadequate metal inventory exists to maintain their charades of markets, each dominated by paper pricing. They manage paper markets for syndicates in total illegal operations. Several large gold futures contract holders are demanding physical delivery in London. The LBMA does not have the metal in inventory. The officials have offered the futures contract holders cash plus 25% dividend for settlement without gold delivery. The contract holders refused. They want their fuchn gold (using a French term by the source, my unique palatable spelling)!!! There was very high volume involved in the contracts. The standoff is not settled. It could go to court. The London authorities are trying desperately to keep the story from hitting the press. It helps to have the syndicate in control of the press networks. The Bank of England and one other European member central bank are working feverishly to fill the contract order, but unfortunately they are using very old gold bars that are reportedly only 90% gold. That invites a new potential challenge. The gold market could soon explode and possibly work toward a convergent fair market. My hint is that it is Germans and Swiss with other Europeans are working diligently and pointedly to kill off the US-UK bank nazis. A LBMA and COMEX bust and default is visible on the horizon. See the Jackass article entitled "Hitman Contracts to Bust Comex" (CLICK HERE) dated in May 27. It would include big bank ruin and legal prosecution. The same source hinted that the ruin of commodity exchanges could coincide with the bust of JPMorgan. So, based upon the London incident, gold has a real price of near $1300.

Elizabeth Warren seems like an honest person. I would consider voting for her for President in 2112.

Oh please! You know what would have prevented the bonuses... Letting those POS companies fail as they should have. The outrage should be with the past President, current Federal Reserve Chairman, Congress, and the current President (who voted for all of this crap as a Senator). Get real! If you don't bail out corrupt people with taxpayer dollars, they can't pay bonuses to people who don't deserve them.

Call me a conspiracy nut, but there is a vid on youtube where a democrat congresswoman states the US Govt will OWN big oil next year so the oil companies will no longer get to profit - - a massive BOA-type failure may be the excuse to do it, if not through a short set of chain reactions - - look at the BOA structure worldwide and you will see a LOT of oil exploration and big construction backers in the list...

Who is our bigger enemy? Folks in Afghanistan or companies like Goldman??
