If this is true, it's been going on for a very long time. My guess is it all began sometime during dubyas hellish presidency. The current culture of rampant corruption, disregard for the law, rampant cronyism and manipulation are the defining hallmarks of the imbeciles term in office. Anyone with a $1000 check paid to his campaign was allowed access to author legislation. Lead in your childrens water? no problem, send a check in. The dubya republicans are a malignant malfeasance culture that are solely out to defraud and destroy the middle class.
From a post on Slashdot.org Based on the Rolling Stones article [rollingstone.com] I was able to reverse engineer the core Goldman Sachs trading algorithm: #include int main( int argc, const char* argv[] ) { pump(); dump(); }
Hope I'm right, Ivan. There's nothing left. See Cashin on TV this morning? We tried to put the fire out,and the extinguishers are all empty. There's nothing left. Nothing. <object id="cnbcplayer" height="380" width="400" classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" > <param name="type" value="application/x-shockwave-flash"/> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/> <param name="quality" value="best"/> <param name="scale" value="noscale" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"/> <param name="salign" value="lt"/> <param name="movie" value="http://plus.cnbc.com/rssvideosearch/action/player/id/1175186114/code/cnbcplayershare"/> <embed name="cnbcplayer" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" bgcolor="#000000" height="380" width="400" quality="best" wmode="transparent" scale="noscale" salign="lt" src="http://plus.cnbc.com/rssvideosearch/action/player/id/1175186114/code/cnbcplayershare" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /> </object>
