PR: Our pols are not only captive to these agents, in many instances, they ARE these agents. Look at Rubin, Paulson, Summers, et al. All of them, at one point or another in their careers, were significant players on The Street.
The MSM have aided and abetted in either obscuring these relationships or mis-reporting the significance of them. Paulson is an excellent example. I can understand why the WSJ hasn’t done an in-depth investigative piece on him, but why not the NYTimes or WashPost? Isn’t that their job?
Someone mentioned a swamp in an earlier post. I think it’s time to drain the damn thing and start over.
