Where're the bodies in these crimes?

This financial mess has cost me my job, I'm waiting for Congress to pass extending unemployment compensation and I'm almost at 99 weeks since I first signed up.

I was able to work about one third of the time I was unemployed/underemployed, but as of now, 99 weeks and you're done, stick a fork in me, done. From $75,000 a year plus benefits to unemployment to nothing. This has sure made a believer out of me; what will it take to make a believer out of you?

Wall Street reform is absolutely necessary. What will be the next organized crime that will take money out of your pocket and the country's pocket? I use the words "organized crime" simply because as far as I know, there haven't been any dead bodies surface that could be tied to the crime. If you stole from the mob, there would be dead bodies, wouldn't there, or was this just an oversight? Think about it,
