It has been said... "Don't commit fraud, the Government hates competition!" So it would seem in the case of Wall Street swindler Bernard Madoff... being prosecuted by those who do it best. Where can a President hold a country hostage every other year, for bailouts of one kind or the other?
Would the average person get away with this kind of behavior?

http://www.reporternews.com/news/2011/ju..."Is this some sort of government Ponzi scheme? The federal government takes in more than it needs through FICA taxes to pay current Social Security recipients, spends the surplus on anything it wants, and has put into the Trust Fund $2.6 trillions of Treasury paper of no intrinsic value, a debt imposed on future American taxpayers. Had that $2.6 trillion been invested in American industry, in assets of real value, future taxpayers would not be obliged to pay off another one of Uncle Sam's huge debts. That investment would have created jobs and more wealth. But such simple economic sense is beyond the capability of our socialist bureaucrats and politicians in Washington."

Anton Wahlman wrote an article to this effect, and every six months since someone is beating this drum... and in a couple of months another will be written...
WHO CARES? Who cares that the American Gov perpetrates a
Ponzi scheme 1000 Times Worse than Madoff's? ...anyone bringing this up is just trying to "FOMENT" insurrection and anarchy... when simple accountability by those who
"represent' the country would be sufficient.
The problem sometimes is that people don't have the answers,
sometimes they don't have the right questions. So, my question is simple...
How many "LIGHTBULBS" does it take to SCREW-UP a country?
