they talk the talk well, until they get in office ...business as per usual

apparently. Hank Paulson engineered a way to do this. He got JP Morgan Chase to run food stamps program, after all.

Congress and private investment banks in collusion vs. American middle class.....lets see who will have a chance

We may all need to start treating everything like a casino game....brush up on your blackjack...since US was dealt a lousy hand of cards and it keeps happening.

Being shocked at this article would be like hiring a gardener and then being shocked that he cut your hedges the next day.
I assume you knew the WS bailout was 10 times larger than advertised. Maybe you And Christine McDonnell, huh?

It is called reading. Research. You know, caring enough to follow what the bodies in charge of leading your country are doing? PM me, and I can explain how to do that for you.

So you roll your eyes at doing your own research? Great attitude slick. I can't imagine why so many Americans are ignorant of key political and economic issues.
