How fucking dumb do the Feds think we really are?

The last few days have been hilarious. First the FIFA arrests yesterday and now the indictment of former Speaker of the House Denny Hastert. (Wow...he avoided declaring a $952k cash withdrawal). He'll probably go to prison for the rest of his life.


Meanwhile the bankers steal trillions, manipulate and rig markets, commit wild, brazen, out of control fraud--ADMIT TO IT--then do it, over and over and over and nothing happens. Not a single bank executive is arrested or charged, never mind go to prison.

The Feds must think we are so fucking dumb. They arrest a bunch of two-bit soccer execs and now they take down a long-retired politician and that's supposed to make up for their total indifference when it comes to the massive crimes of finance? Nobody should give a fuck until lots and lots and lots of bankers go to jail.

My first thought when I heard about Hastert was "I wonder who he pissed off?"

Sure, Hastert is corrupt -- and so are many other pols. But pols don't get prosecuted by their own party unless they stepped on someone's toes.
