They may or may not ...Thanks for the comment, Tom!<br /><br />They may or may not have known, but Goldman Sachs certainly knew how to make their economies cry loud and long, didn't they?<br /><br />I'll never forget watching Paulson with Bush that fateful September day right before the elections in 2008 when they explained (to TV cameras after the fact) that the money just had to be put back (from the taxpayers) in the banks or we'd all go to the poor house.<br /><br />Brrrrrraaahhh!<br /><br />I said then, does anyone else know for whom Paulson was working (as CEO no less) previously?<br /><br />I did.<br /><br />And I couldn't believe that the Goldman Sachs linkages were never reported on seriously until it became public knowledge through the documents released afterwards that AIG had to be saved in order to shovel the moolah over to GS and all the rest of the casinos/investment ventures/international banks/etc., now brand new banks!<br /><br />But, I digress.<br /><br />Greece is bad! Long live the PIIGS (and France, of course).<br /><br />Austerity is wealth!<br /><br />Poverty is being threatened to the upper class!<br /><br />Four legs good!<br /><br />Two legs bad!!!!<br /><br />- G. Orwell<br /><br />And we continue down that same DLC road.

But when it passed, I figured, well, they must know what they're doing.<br /><br />Apparently not.Tom Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05610417770240609022noreply@blogger.com
