Your Tax Dollars At Work

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...N_uNe7I&pos=11

Many gov't officials have worked for Goldman, including our last 2 Treasury Secretaries. The latest is Turbo Tax Tim Geithner. Before him was Hank Paulson. Obama and Bush have/had many friends there.

In short, the bailouts were nothing but insurance being paid out via us, the taxpayers.

This article should be front-page news.

True. It's not surprising the Bush would bail out his banking buddies. Remember the Savings and Loan crisis in the '80's? Jeb Bush, George Bush Sr., and his son Neil Bush have all been implicated in the Savings and Loan Scandal, which cost American tax payers over $1.4 TRILLION dollars (talk about national debt).

You can read the shameful details here:

Yes, yes. The Bush's are ripe for a lynching, but ignore the elephant in the room. (I guess it should be an *** in this case.)


And for someone who has criticized just about every source that anyone has posted refuting your baseless claims and called them "right wing",...............

nice source. Fair and balanced, right?
