What the hell does that have to do with the FEDs? Ignoring of course the fact that the tax cuts gave a greater cut to everyone else.. If you dont comprehend that those who make the most get larger cuts in real dollars, then perhapse you failed 5th grade math.

GAO Audit Exposes Fed's Corruption Once Again

"As a result of this audit, we now know that the Federal Reserve provided more than $16 trillion in total financial assistance to some of the largest financial institutions and corporations in the United States and throughout the world," he said. "This is a clear case of socialism for the rich, and rugged, you're-on-your-own individualism for everyone else." Well, didn't everyone know that by now?

I'm deeply offended you even mentioned Republicans in the same line as socialists.

Give me a break.

They dont need to tell people where their money is going.. Do you?
When did the banks loan the FR money and get a 6% return? That does not sound like how the game is played. Do you have info? this is the first time I have heard this.

I think the original author used the word to try to get GOP idiots to start realiging what is really going on..

Our government is controlled by large financial corporations. This is corporate sponsored state-ism. Using tired old terms like "socialist" and "capitalist" don't work with what is going on now. Goldman Sachs steering the countries economic policy to make the extremely wealthy even wealthier has very little in common with eco101 bananna stand salesman anecdotes that Fox News worshippers try to equate everything to in their foolishness.

Actually you are the one who deflected into tax cuts from your own thread of "Republican Puppets", while ignoring that Democrats have held Congress since 2007. Whats the matter, cant substantiate the link so you have to change the subject?

So anotherwords, the original author lied, and played partisan bs "keywords", to get people to understand only half the truth while ignoring and deflecting when someone points out the other half? Got it

Better look at the number of individuals in the Obama administration who have held positions at Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan before you cast stones falsely accusing the GOP as supporting big banks and the Democrats as not. I'm quite certain that Democrats under Clinton and Obama have been all about supporting the big banks.

Wow, and to think the republicans accomplished this while the inconsequential and inept dems ran the entire government for two years, and controlled the congress and senate for four years.

Wow, just wow.
