Yeah, me neither! A government that is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fortune 500 is just like the founders envisioned it...
My point was that having investments with, or loans from, large investment banks is not exactly unusual and NOT NECESSARILY a disqualifier from office, at least from my perspective. The Founders and many who came after them were much more concerned with central banks (i.e., the Federal Reserve Bank, which is as “federal” as Federal ammo) than large, international investment banks.
