We talk about it all the time, but we never do anything about it. And who are “we”? Those of us who continue to re-elect the same crooks over and over and over. Why do we do it? Because “our” crook takes care of us and “us” is all we care about. We [...]

Goldman Sachs — Our Shadow Government?
July 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Wall Street
There are two reasons the name “Government Sachs” wasn’t publically exploited the way “Government Motors” has been.
