« Ritholtz & Ratigan Examine The Vampire Squid »
The vampire squid is Government Goldman. You are a fish. "Annie, go get your nuke."
Dylan Ratigan teams up with Barry Ritholtz and in 7 minutes they cover everything from AIG to Goldman to bailouts and back-door bailouts to bank bondholders to 10-year old girls who are paralyzed (no kidding) to "What the frack is Tim Geithner thinking?"
The female reporter is clueless. Why even bother showing up.
This is a squid-throttling, Sachs-busting, taxpayer-soothing clip . Watch it, save it, send it.

Didn't see you in Vegas, but I was floating around there, incognito. Did you have fun?
I didn't attend much of the C4L conference, but I thought overall Freedomfest talks went well. Some were a little shallow, but others had some good insights. My favorites were Doug Casey and David Friedman, which should concern me I guess, since they're both anarchists. Have I given up libertarianism already? ;)
What about you? Did you enjoy it?

We cover all stories related to the institutionally dysfunctional, painfully inept and completely counter-productive taxpayer bailout of failed people, ideas, businesses, pensions, municipalities, states and ultimately, we fear, of our federal government.
Tell your friends about our site and what's going on in Washington. Help us spread the word about the immoral transfer of debt from failed, private banks directly onto the backs of your chldren. And to young people directly, seriously wake the f up, and realize that it's mostly your cash that's headed out the door.
