Political and financial Masters of the Universe make it clear who "matters" -- and it's not the American people


If honesty is contagious, then we may be experiencing a brief outbreak right now as America's political and business elite seem momentarily intent on acknowledging oligarchic reality.

On Sunday, as previously noted, the New York Times quoted Tom Watkins, a top business consultant, admitting that corporate education reformers are hoping the recession continues so that nobody notices their scheme to convert public schools into high-tech companies' private profit-making machines.

:snip:

First up was Larry Summers, the hedge funder-turned-architect of the Obama administration's economic program. In a little-noticed speech he revealed a reason the Obama administration may not have been nearly as focused on creating American jobs as many had hoped:

"There are those today who would resist the process of international integration; that is a prescription for a more contentious and less prosperous world," stated Summers. "We should not oppose offshoring or outsourcing." (emphasis added)

2. "We should not oppose offshoring or outsourcing."

Our potus is so compromised. He chose Summers, no one forced him to. Just nauseating.

3. ''International Integration''

Count me as one who resists that. The reason?

I am a Democrat!

5. Very revealing.. nothing is about to change.

In fact, Obama and Congress are set to pass more free trade agreements with Korea and Columbia.. knowing full well.. these agreements will take thousands more jobs offshore.

Yet the show goes on.. no one seems to notice or care.

6. And people are surprised that the Current Occupant

doesn't seem to give a crap about the average person. :eyes:

Remind me just who appointed this asshat Summers and his two-foot shadow Geithner to top Administration posts again, will you? Please? Was that the Invisible Pink Unicorn? The Clenis? Just who was it again???

The people quoted in the Salon article should be shaved by the National Razor and ASAP.

7. Larry Summers is a vile, witless man.
