Wolve's In Sheep's Clothing?

Joe Mysak at Bloomberg comments on Why Jefferson County Must Go Bust...

Jefferson County, Alabama, has to declare bankruptcy. Here's why. The county needs protection.

It needs protection from creditors, from bankers, from politicians -- and from itself.

The odd thing about municipal bankruptcy is that it's voluntary. If they had the opportunity,

I imagine that the county's creditors, themselves hard-pressed, would have compelled it to enter financial rehab long before now.

maybe there's a lot more to the story than amateur theatrics as performed by public officials and the usual fear and greed show practiced by bankers.

The Jefferson County meltdown is a shameful chapter in municipal finance, Hasn't this horror show gone on long enough?

If I lived in Jefferson County, I would want to know the answers.


The Nattering One muses... all one need to do is change the name from Jefferson County to US Government

or GM or FNMA or IndyMac or Countrywide Financial...Do ya git da picture, Son?

At what point does the public wake up and realize that the idiots in charge are exactly that?

In sheep's clothing that is...

much like our executive and legislative branches that sit around talking and when asked to come up with real solutions...

only do their corporate masters bidding.

Much like Bernanke who feigns idiocy re the effect of dollar debauch to GM's total mismanagement by Wagoner,

this pack of jackals and wolves are intentionally feeding on the sheep or publics carcass.

A good rancher would give these pack hunters a serious case of lead poisoning, and get the rest of the packs attention.

When dealing with wily predators like these, bullets are cheaper and much more effective than all the yelling and talk.

Just a passing thought.
