Let snow, rain and pigeon-shit replace the piles of money they have been bathing in throughout the derivative debacle. This is how healing needs to begin in America.
That Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner needs to explain his plan to the very cartel that pulled off the crime is preposterous. He should have held the press conference the night before, instead of the President.

Bring the recovery plan to the American people. Not the creeps who receive massive bonuses as they stand amidst the financial ruins they engineered.
Instead, make the American people the focus of Mr. Geithner's attention. These are the people who, in the end, had better be impressed.
Everyone was waiting for Mr. Geithner to come down off the mountain, toss the tablets at Bernard Madoff as he rode the golden calf, and restore prosperity. It didn't happen. Speeches work miracles, but mainly in movies.
The financial industry is not alone in this. Those without the means to buy a home suddenly qualified. We were taught that absolute power corrupts. And then witnessed it occur.

A generation sacrificed to make a better life for their children. Hard work, long hours and saving. It was their last gasp before being trampled by their offspring in a bull-rush shortcut to the American dream.
