发帖数: 901 | 1 CBS News reports (via 60 Minutes) that Washington D.C. is full of self-
serving, corrupt members of Congress, who frequently use their power to
enrich themselves at the expense of the public.
In 2008, for example, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben
Bernanke held a closed-door meeting warning politicians that a global
financial meltdown could occur within a few days, giving them enough time to
get their money out of the market ahead of the general public. Congressman
Spencer Bachus (R-Alabama), for one, shorted General Electric four times in
early September 2008. Between July 2008 and November 2008, he made 40
options trades on GE, in one case nearly doubling his money in two days.
In other news, CBS has also recently discovered that presidents lie, that
the U.S. has been borrowing money for 40 years, and that Elvis is actually
dead. |
