The first place is to get angry at Congress; that is where the majority of the blame is to go; the big bucks who have a great deal of power and influence. I do not trust politicians that sit in Congress as far as I can toss their sorry asses. And the lobbyists and earmark bills as well.
I read a bio of Lyndon Johnson several years ago that describes all the manipulation, butt kissing, asking favors he had to do to get the three or four pieces of Civil Rights laws passed during his time in office. What a bunch of creepy game players they are while laws that need to be passed and the ones they are designed to protect are held hostage.
I totally agree that the money and power hungry bastards (I was going to spell it out with a few astericks but hell no!) need to be curtailed and put out of a job or curbed at the least. I think that is what the new law is supposed to do about Wall Street, Banks, mortgage companies; put them under tight scrutiny. But the Republicans will do all they can to get that law overturned.
In the meantime, we can let our elected Congressmen and women know what we think about them and their behaviors!!!
