This letter to the editor comes replete with a clarifying comment in the thread below it:
As our nation continues its inexorable slide toward financial collapse, the citizenry should ponder what punishment should be meted out to current and past politicians who have allowed the collapse to occur.
You can be sure that these rascals will do everything to avoid paying their dues from declaring martial law to fleeing to France. But it is only fitting that they pay some stiff price, and now is the time to put them all on notice.

And just in case you didn't get enough crazy or hyperbole:
[A] full-scale financial collapse greater than the so-called great depression is something that will affect all Americans. Politicians from all parties and both conservative and liberal have caused the mess but some are more guilty than others as can be deduced by their voting record. Actually the acts leading to financial collapse are not even illegal but they still are highly irresponsible and, because of the seriousness, actual treason.
I do like that something can be both "actual treason" and "not even illegal" at the same time. Try that one on your brain.

maybe he the writer means uneven illegal
This is why I can usually only tolerate the letters page for about 8 seconds every morning. I skip the page and if I see anything as stupid as that, I don't bother giving it another chance. I was spoiled last time I went on vacation and read the San Francisco Chronicle and the Wall Street Journal, where the letter writers, even when I disagreed with them, did not sound like the idiotic wingnuts that dominate the letters page in Fresno.
But they put so much work into using the words "inexorable" and "mete"!
