It's a few years too late, but Karl Rove is a name that stands out.

 

Lulz, you must not understand economics. Sure, you can be pissed that they are part of a profession which is greased by back door dealings. We all are. But
1)Actors, agents, figures or whatever you'd like to call them only act as a cog in the machine. You kill 'em, some other Patrick Bateman looking yupbot is going to take the vacancy. Machine still ticks.
2) Ben Bernanke and to some degree Geitner should be thanked for not allowing politicians to have their way. If we did not stimulate the economy, then the US economy would've been highly susceptible to deflation. That's bad. Look at Japan, where have they gone since the 90's?

re: this looney, there's still a second suspect on the loose and until we get a hold of his ***, I'll reserve judgement.

As for Paul's comment regarding John Wheeler, I hate to be that conspiracy guy, but a dude with no history of mental deficiency is last seen wacked out his mind a few days after xmas, gets his body dumped 13 miles away, and he's known to be a biochemical weapons expert. I just read a headline about Wheeler which read, "We may never know what happened to Wheeler"

 

I guess they are all the "right ones." lol

 

Why don't we instead of looking at Japan (a sign of failure according to you), let's look at Germany, who made the difficult decisions based on what was good for the country, not the bankers, not the stock traders and speculators, not the oligarchy. Why is it that my in-laws are telling my wife that companies are desperately hiring workers, because the economy is recovering so rapidly?

No, perhaps it is you who doesn't understand economics. If we believe your version of events, then Timothy Geithner & Ben Bernanke didn't threaten that the tanks would roll out, the economy would collapse, the market would completely implode unless Congress BRIBED (not the word he used) the major banks with a 700+Billion "bailout"?

Why isn't the "stimulus" working? Probably because it benefits the richest people, and does NOTHING to the average American. Why are we in our second Quantatative Easing? Why didn't the first one work? Instead of deflation, we're getting INFLATION.

When Obama promised "change", what he meant was that it would describe all the money we'd have left in our pockets after the bankers, mortgage companies, investment banks and other "money managers" got done raping and pillaging the Treasury.

Why isn't the government doing to the banks what the banks are doing to us? I'm sure you haven't seen the news reports where Bank of America is making up new "service tiers" where you'll get charged every month for anything having to do with your account. Credit Card companies are jacking up interest rates to 30%+, charging $35 over limit and late fees each month - charging yearly "membership" fees - anything to make a profit.

Why doesn't the government, in OUR interest simply charge each bank 35-40% interest, and charge 90% taxes on any bonuses given out by the banking industry? That would be because the former heads of all these money monger companies are now working in the administration - working from the inside to rape and pillage the average American...

...all while telling the average American that the patriotic thing to do is go out and spend, spend, spend in order to stimulate the economy. Some are gobbling it right up, because they can't resist the temptation of the latest shiny trinket, for which they are willing to give up the future of this country...
