Take us home
The $13 trillion pound elephant in the middle every financial policy discussion, at the moment.
A Day of Posturing by Congressional Hypocrites
"Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) yesterday actually scolded the executives for 'betting with other people's money and other people's futures.'
Taxpayers -- pitchforks in hand -- should hold a hearing and grill these senators along the very same lines.
Here is the difference between Goldman and Congress:
Goldman may be trying to sell ice to Eskimos, but nobody is making the Eskimos buy it. With Congress, either you give them your money or you go to jail."
It's not just the dirty deals made in Congress. And the shady accounting. And the selfish pursuit of self-interest.
It's the damn fool notion that these would be the very folks we would go to to fix all of these matters.
Why don't you listen to some Michael Buble and then consider whether you're gonna lie to me, again, and tell me how it's all the nice guys that fuck everything up in the world.
Because none of these guys look nice to me. Just ordinary assholes. Who just can't face up to their bullshit. Same as it ever was.
Take us home, Michael.
