    Default Is the blood-sucking vampire squid at it again?

    It looks like Goldman Sachs are up to their old tricks again.

    What have we learned in 2,066 years


    "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled,
    public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be
    tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should
    be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to
    work, instead of living on public assistance."

    - Cicero - 55 BC

    So, evidently nothing..
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    This alleged quote from Marcus Tullius Cicero that began circulating on the Internet in October, 2008, is based on a true statement from the great Roman orator, but someone added a lot to it to make it match some of what the United States was facing economically.

    The actual quote is: "The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign hands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall."

    What, no mention of the fact Obama's SEC just hired someone from Goldman Sachs, Wall St & the White House are tied to the hip.

    The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Eileen Rominger has been named its Director of Investment Management. She will begin her work at the agency in February.

    The Division of Investment Management protects investors and promotes capital formation through oversight and regulation of the nation’s multi-trillion dollar investment management industry. Ms. Rominger comes to the SEC from the asset management industry, where she worked for the past 11 years at Goldman Sachs Asset Management and most recently served as the firm’s global chief investment officer. She previously worked for 18 years at Oppenheimer Capital, where she was a portfolio manager, managing director, and a member of the Executive Committee.

    Goldman Sach's tentacles are everywhere.

    I wish Assange would release the stuff he has on the financial institutions!

    We just found out this week that a bank has been overcharging military families and foreclosing on homes erroneously! You would think an attack on our military families would have people in a uproar, so far, pretty quiet about this. Where are the Patriots to protest this?

    Apparently he has been handed a disk with the Swiss bank account details of many of the super rich. Let's hope they are shitting themselves over what might be revealed.
