As the LIBOR crime probe starts in the UK, what did we learn this week about the way it has been and will be handled here in the US, especially looking at Tim Geithner's testimony? Then, Senator Chris Dodd says that Sanford Weil's call to break up the big banks is too simplistic an approach. And, we finally heard a few voices on ths hill this week take on Citizens United.....including a call from Sheldon Whitehouse to put things into perspective and realize that there are much bigger sacrifices being made everyday than corporations dealing with a little public harassment. So what do all of these stories tell us about our bought political system? Alyona discusses with Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks.

I enjoyed the video.. thanks, It was spot on.

The probe is a joke, all the banks top brass are quitting with handsome payouts and the middle-management scape goat department will be investigated. You couldn't make this shit up. The bank of England and the Government will probably side-step their involvement and focus on the next casualty.. probably RBS (they have already admitted that they expect to recieve a fine)

Mr Hester, 51, who took over from disgraced Fred the Shred Goodwin in 2008, said a new culture had to be ingrained in banks if financial services were ever to regain customer trust.

And the RBS chief admitted his bailed-out bank DOES expect to be fined over the Libor rate fiddling scandal. He confessed: “Before the crisis RBS trod on pretty much all the landmines that were out there to tread on. We fired traders. You can draw your own conclusions.”

I have always wanted transparency in the government and financial institutes and this is as transparent as it gets... Yet there is very little rage, which suprises me.

It's easy to fire traders from the scape-goat department and YES I can draw my own conclusions... The government are bought, and PAID FOR.... 'We're all in it together'.. right? (I thought it was mainly the UK, but it looks like you guys are in the same position)

If you change the title to 'Tits and arse-lickers' it would be more apt and you would probably would get more replies. :cheers:

I find it ironic that that the 'tit' thread is overtaking the view count of this thread.. Hahaha (I can vaguely uderstand trolls approach)... it's only been up 10 minutes and it's had more views than this thread has had in the last 10 hours.
Keep up the good work Hawk.... You're efforts aren't lost on me :cheers:

Edited for pissedness :cheers:
