these greedy pig-like creatures on Wall Street are being hung up by the tails and they don't like it. It's about time. China is ralllying around its government and doing OK. Meanwhile the capitalists here are squealing and bringing our country to a standstill. The ordinary people are suffering. What gives?

3. Yesterday, Obama said he will get rid of the insane no-bid defense contracts so defense
contractors wont make as much $$$.

If he reforms health care and takes out waste along with making drug companies bid competitively then some health care and pharmaceutical companies wont make as much $$$.

They are going to be watching the stimulus $$$ like a hawk.

Oil companies will make less $$$ because Obama's budget takes out their tax breaks.

Tax breaks for Companies who outsource are eliminated in Obama's budget.

Obama and Congress are also talking about re-regulating the banking and financial institutions - that scares them. They think they'll make less $$$.

Obama doesn't want to privatize all the government jobs - less $$$ for those companies.

Wall Street and CNBC says waaaahhhhhhhh!

Main Street says - those guys are a$$holes.

7. In other words they have to get off their asses and find something else to invest in...
Like renewable energy, for example. There's always a way to make a buck. Wall Street just likes being lazy and making a buck the old way. Apparently they didn't get the memo that those days aren't coming back.

their greedy gray matter. Of course, you're right.
