I know of ONE layoff that happened at B of A this week, in Delaware. That doesn’t mean there weren’t more, but a definite one. Maybe it’ll be a nickle-and-dime process that won’t garner much press. Wouldn’t surprise me, I’ve considered B of A the lowest of the big ones since they put the screws to the former Fleet workers in Boston years ago…and did so after all but guaranteeing them their jobs.

Atrios is the answer man…too bad the answer is in electing more and better Democrats and that is going to take longer than we have got.
The big shitpile is being shed on me.

Undertakers have pretty secure jobs. But what happens when folks can’t afford to bury their dead?

My guess is that it is happening, but in slow motion. The Kos diarist just pumped it a little.

Stand by for heavy waves against B of A and of course their CEO.

The Chancery Court in Delaware will be quite busy.

For home owners the GOP Senate Plan has a very smart way of helping homeowners.

Working at Wells, I can tell you for a fact that they did not want to take the bailout cash. Paulson basically forced WF to take it…

I’ve been checking too and haven’t seen anything about layoffs here. There is some news about cutbacks at Fidelity in Boston and a bunch of BOA execs who jumped ship….

I’ve tried Googling this and I can’t find any write-up on this. I’ll guess we’ll have to wait to find out if it is true.

DemocracyNow had Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur on tonight. Kaptur says its JP MORGAN/CHASE, CITIBANK, WACHOVIA, AIG/GOLDMAN SACKS AND LEHMAN.! These are the bankster gangsters. Wells Fargo is sending their top people to Las Vegas this friday…after they got $25 billion. They have no shame!

Why cant the Congress enact legislation and ask for all the money back they havent spent, tax the hell out of them if they dont tell us what they did with “our” money. She says that Paulson and Bush did a fast one by putting the money under the Treasury dept, which has no authority, no rules and regs to force the banks to do anything. By doing so all those mortgage lenders, hedge fund crooks got protection from the FDIC funds which they immediately applied for an recd.

It the democrats had put all this under the SEC who actually has investigators, rules/regulattions, they could have some oversight. But Bush said, “if you dont do it right now the financial world will collapse. Scaring the hell of out them before they could figure out who actually had the power. ‘We will declare martial law, if you dont sign on”. Remember!

If Obama, and the Democrats continue to follow the Treasury, now under another Wall Street Bankster/Gangster Tim Geithner…we are truly screwed.

Kaptur says, if you are loosing you home…DONT LEAVE! Demand to see your paperwork….cuz they cant find it. If there is no record…well you have a great case. You as a property owner have a legal remedy. You are in possession and possession is 98% of the law. So use their laws against them. I love this idea…kind of the peoples revolt against the banksters….cuz our elected officials are too entrenched, too in the bag with the dark side.

Why didnt they give the money to the good local banks…instead of the crooksters…am betting they our legislators have invested with the gangsters….saving their own ass, while turning the water hose on us.

My first client today moved recently to DE. She moved only because she had a choice to follow her job or loose it. Her husband can’t find work here and they took a large loss to sell there home.

My second client is a real esate agent and lost half of his IRA.

For lunch went to get a sandwich and the owner of the store told me that her revenues were down 50% and she was going to soon close.

I am a tax accountant. I think I will be okay. Especially by the time that the laws are changed. No one will understand the changes.

I think this is going to get much worse before it gets better. I think we should all spend as if we have already lost our jobs.

I hate to go to work tomorrow!

Unstable; there are a whole bunch of economists who agree with you and are proposing nationalizing all the banks, which is actually what your proposal would entail. A really drastic move but it really is areally drastic situation. It`s why thousands of Russians are out in the street demanding a return to communism and nationalization of all business.

UI, it seems to me that your idea might be a bit more efficient. And at least if that happened, we (US taxpayers) would at least have some collateral on the money lent.
