| 34. From the man who pressured Congress to repeal Glass Steagall. |
|
Please someone, remind me why Dick Gregory and NBC are treating this guy as an expert to whom the nation should listen?
The man whose religion, "Trust markets to regulate themselves," had a huge role in bringing us the global economic collapse of 2008?
And NBC gave his wife a daily show on MSNBC, why?
The same NBC that fired Maria Shriver as a special reporter because her husband got himself elected Governor and that supposedly blew her objectivity and credibility?
At the very least, Andrea should disclose her husband's identity and his role in global economic collapse at the start of every show.

If you are printing money to pay your debts that usually means nobody wants to buy your bonds |
