Financial corporations including the big banks survived as they received govt. tax payer bailout relief which was given to banks despite of banks mistakes, and their bad business decisions. Now the same financial institutions have instituted multi track foreclosing strategy against the tax payers. Tax payers guilty of their "mistakes or otherwise" deserve relief as well.
The mortgage lenders including the banks are playing game of mortgage modification, and simultaneously and secretly moving to foreclosed the homeowner's home (some homes may deserve foreclosing but not the one's are trying to modify their mortgage as allowed by law). Many home owners are blindsided, and their credits and lives are destroyed.
Welcome to the 21st century legalized financial corporate globalized criminality. Capitalism is being destroyed step by step not by communism, socialism, right or left but by the corporate trickery and greed.

A Minimalist Commentary Plus Question To: Warren Buffett's Pronouncement
September 23, 2010 Reuters: Top News Headline:
"Warren Buffett: "We are still in a recession".
Commentary Plus Question:
Mr. Buffett what do you mean by "We"?. This year according to Fortune 500 news you and 399 others like you in America made billions with a total net worth of 1.4 trillion. How could that be a recession for you, sir?.

A Reflection on Michael Chabon's Op-Ed "Chosen, but Not Special"
"Chosen, but Not Special" an Op-Ed by Michael Chabon published in NYT: June 4, 2010.
The Op-Ed is a critical, analytical as well as a reflective piece of writing. Mr. Chabon's efforts to be fair minded are refreshing. However, there is a presumption in the title of Michael Chabon's Op-Ed which is troubling. The presumption is that the group addressed in the Op-Ed may not be the "Special" however it is the "Chosen" nevertheless. There lies the fragments of mystery that is not so mysterious with what the human race has been beleaguered by multiple groups claiming in their own ways and in their own "god" given rights as the "chosen" one's and expressing their views implicitly and explicitly in different ways yet inherently meaning the same that they are the chosen one and making efforts to establish the dominance in one form or the other. The concepts of being the so called "Chosen" ones are described, implied, and written by various groups in different words formulated and institutionalized over times in various forms including in the scriptures, the holy books, and various other forms of writings. In general, all groups on this planet earth consider themselves as the chosen one not the other.
In reality, various groups consider themselves to be the "Chosen" one, however they may express the concept differently, twisting and meandering the words but meaning the same. Once the presumption of chosen one is established then the next presumption for the group becomes easier to make, and that is that their group must be the right one since it is the chosen one (a convoluted misguided thinking nevertheless it is consistent with the linear logical and inferential conclusions made in every day life).
Once the group begins to believe that they are the chosen one, then an another a little more sinister presumption takes hold and has taken hold during the course of human history that is that the other groups couldn't be the chosen one (chosen one being a singularity rather than a plurality concept). And, therefore each group has been bestowing upon itself all the "god" given power and the rights, and taking away whenever possible as much power and the rights from the other groups in efforts to be the chosen one. The human groups are locked into a perpetual head bashing with each other, and ironically no one has yet won to be the chosen one.
So, what is the way out of this quagmire? The solution may not be difficult (putting the solution in practice is another matter). The solution is simple: It is time to accept that it is not any particular group that is the chosen one rather it is the human race at large in of itself is the chosen one (if we have to hang on to the word "Chosen" as the umbilical cord until freed from and weaned out of it). Any thing less then that that the human race is the chosen one as a whole rather than any particular group will leave the simmering cancerous social cancer of the so called the chosen one's to collide with the so called the other chosen one's as the groups have been colliding with each other over and over during the course of human existence known to our consciousness. It is a sick truism.
So, let there be a different truism to emerge in our time, if it is at all possible, that we all are the chosen one, and let us make efforts to be the worthy of being good, and a fun human race, and stop this silly game of chosen one explicit, implied, or otherwise that belongs to a group.

A shift in American Democracy: The Supreme Court Has Spoken
While the people, and the journalists were preoccupied with John Edward's sexual indiscretions, lies, and deceits, and the media payoff to the comedian Conan, the democracy in America was changing if it has not already changed.
The supreme court ruled (or we say, in it's living wisdom confirmed the right of speech to non-livings, the corporations) that corporations, the entities though non-living and not mentioned in the First Amendment, are guaranteed freedom of speech by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, and thereof, the corporations deserve the freedom of expression. There-by, the court proclaimed, corporations can contribute to effect the elections (buy the election, a better expression) as much as corporations hearts desire, even if they have no living hearts. This is done under the protection of the ruling of the United States Supreme Court, the Supreme jurisprudence entity.
So, welcome to a democracy of the corporations, for the corporations, and by the corporations, and forget the people. The people can not compete with the corporations in a trickle down and recessed economy.
Now we have a democracy on this planet that belongs to entities, the money entities, the corporations not the people.

AIG (American Insurance Group) Mystery Simplified
It all started with Regan trickle economy, deregulation, and Greenspan "free market" adventure. The so called entrepreneurs were encouraged to take risk free risk by doing any thing (foolish or other wise) and make money. And money they made. It was all insured by insurance industry in particular, you guessed it right, by AIG. When the "free market" system the so called crashed, the republican administration bailed out the AIG, and the AIG bailed out the "free market" entrepreneurs. The end of story.
Now, the free marketeers like Goldman Sachs are rich from the AIG bail out money, and out they go to play the so called "free market" game. Any question.
