This Administration’s economic policies only make sense if it’s understood that the goal is to turn the economy into something in line with left-liberal fantasies.

Candidate Obama won over Wall Street (even as he was bashing the financiers who'd plunged the country into crisis b/c of bad bets on risky bonds).....now his ardent financial-industry fans are deserting him”.......

GET OUT YOUR BARF BAGS Obama just handed ex-Goldman Sachs bigshot---now Gov Corzine (D-NJ)----stimulus funding that includes staggering sums:

$2.6 billion for Medicaid assistance,
$1.3 billion for state “fiscal stabilization,”
$651 million for highway infrastructure,
$524 million for mass transit,
$279 million in Title I grants,
$200 million for clean water programs,
$121 million for “weatherization” assistance,
$101 million for public housing programs,
$56 million for workforce development,
$34 million for child care development, and,
$27 million for community development block grants.

Looking at the allocations——we see a very cunning strategy——Obama makes sure areas with large minority voters are blanketed with tax dollars. Keep in mind, this does not "just happen"----Obama planned this for a long time.

No one outside The Democrat Machine will get any of the stimulus money. All of the money will stimulate Demrmocrats' re/elections. Obama’s “stimulus” is a Democrat-only re/election gravy train. Obama’s buying a permanent Dem majority with our tax dollars.

BACKGROUND---GOLDMAN SACHS GOVERNOR STATIONS WALL STREET OPERATIVES IN JERSEY GOVERNMENT

Gov Corzine stationed Wall Street operatives in key government agencies. G/S buddy Brad Abelow went to Treasury. One of Abelow's first moves was to invest state money in a begile his wife was invested in.

75% of Jon's appointments to the "State Investment Council" which invests $85 billion pension funds have ties to the bankrupt Lehman Bros. The head of the SIC---Orin Kramer---is a hedge fund operator.

Abelow and Corzine formed Hercules Partners LLC---an investment vehicle--they didn’t know it was illegal for govt officials to partner (/snic).

In Aug 2007, Corzine named Erika Irish Brown, a senior VP at (tah dah) Lehman Bros---to the State Investment Council (SIC) which makes "alternative investments" (read looting) of the $82 billion state pension fund.

Corzine's hand-picked Wall Street pals stunned the financial world---putting $400M state funds in shaky Citigroup, $300M in iffy Merrill Lynch---as banking giant Bear Stearns collapsed. $180M pension funds went to Lehman Brothers (then-ready to go under).

Not surprisingly state pension accounts went down a whopping $5 Billion----BEFORE the market meltdown. Can you say Wall Street buddy bail-out? Offshore wire transfer?

Corzine's W/S buddies sta$shed in strategic Jer$ey government agencie$ are now rigging the laws to increase their investment kitty from 18% to 28%. What figging users these people are. Time they stood up on their own two feet and stopped enriching themselves on the backs of working class taxpayers.
