Was it just financial cronyism or something far more sinister when Hank Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman, got appointed as treasurer, and then bailed out AIG, while making sure that Goldman got paid off for the bets they placed on the imminent collapse of the sub prime loans they had pioneered, packaged and then sold off to unsuspecting investors..?.

Are Larry Summers & Tim Geithner still possibly only looking out for Goldman and other hedge funds , as they continue to try and convince us to stay the course, instead of demanding a moratorium of foreclosures and requiring that banks modify the loans?

How else do you explain that 9 months after the bailout, this trickle down plan that Paulson came up with is actually hurting those who need it the most, particularly as monthly mortgage payments keep re-setting ever higher?

We have reached the point, where we must wonder if it I by design, that the average borrower on Main street, cannot get through to his lender to discuss modifying his loan, and in the interim 1/2 a million more households per month, are losing their jobs and their homes?

Have Obama and much of the Democratic congress betrayed their core voter support, by pandering to the interests of Goldman and the rest of the financial community?

Where this any other country, the press would be reporting on this economical political chicanery, instead of applauding Goldman’s profits, and a well informed citizenry would be demanding that its government stop the payouts to Goldman and other hedge funds, while declaring a moratorium on all foreclosures, until the banks modify the loans..
