Wall Street’s Beneficiaries Stacking Joe Biden’s Cabinet
Breitbart ^ | January 28 2021 | JOHN BINDER

Posted on 01/29/2021 1:19:16 AM PST by knighthawk

The beneficiaries of Wall Street’s cash flow have stacked President Joe Biden’s cabinet picks to head various agencies, including the Treasury Department, Transportation Department, and State Department.

Despite claims to be at odds with Wall Street throughout the 2020 presidential election, Biden is stacking his cabinet with allies and the beneficiaries of some of the nation’s biggest banks. The appointments are not a surprise for the Washington, DC, beltway as Wall Street spent $74 million to unseat former President Trump.

When Vice President Kamala Harris was picked as Biden’s running mate, Wall Street executives and hedge fund managers praised the move, describing her as a “normal Democrat” who “was exceptionally well-received” by the big banks. One executive said of Harris, “What’s not to like?”

For some time I have been doubled minded about Matt Gaetz. On the one hand I have agreed with him on every policy issue but on the other hand I have held reservations because he seemed to be a young man on the make entirely too much in love with television cameras.

But twice now he has appeared on television and indicted his own party to its very core. He accuses the establishment of the Republican Party to be the hirelings of Wall Street, big tech, K St. etc. He claims he takes no pac money himself, but tells us that the likes of Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Republican establishment in either House and across the country are simply on the take and playing a double game deceiving the base.

Currently, he is campaigning in Wyoming against Cheney to unseat her as number three in the Republican Party In the House and alleges that she holds her power, as does Mitch McConnell, because she funnels pac money to Republicans. He points out that her positions on so many issues are contrary to the position held by the base of the party but fully represent big money interests.

On the make or not, the Republican Party needs more like Matt Gaetz.

Always follow the money.

Pete Buttigieg is a Wall Street guy? Who knew?

Not to nitpick, but the article is talking about those who received money from Wall Street firms and there are quite a bit of them in the Biden administration who are beholden to Wall Street and the Big Banks.

Though I agree, putting Buttigeig in the mix is a stretch. From the article :

Buttigieg worked for McKinsey & Company between 2007 and 2010, representing clients like the health insurance giant Blue Cross Blue Shield and Best Buy.

Again, for mayor Pete that's a bit of a stretch (this doesn't really prove anything)but there is plenty more concrete evidence against a lot more people in the cabinet

NICE TAKE----DESERVES A REPEAT The Republican Party needs more people like Matt Gaetz.......he has indicted his own party to its very core, accusing establishment Republicans to be the hirelings of Wall Street, big tech, K St. etc. Gaetz tells us that the likes of Mitch McConnell, and the rest of the Republican establishment in DC, and across the country, are on the take and playing a double game.......deceiving the base.

Currently, Gaetz is campaigning in Wyoming against Liz Cheney to unseat her as number three in the Republican Party, and alleges that she holds power, as does Mitch McConnell, because of funneling PAC money to Republicans. Gaetz points out that Cheney's positions on so many issues are contrary to the position held by the base of the party...... but fully represent big money interests.

Kamala Harris was hailed by Silicon Valley & Wall St when she was chosen as Biden’s VP:

8 Jan: NY Post: Kamala Harris’ top economic advisor is another BLACKROCK exec
by Thornton McEnery
BlackRock is cementing its position as the Biden administration’s go-to Wall Street firm.
Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris on Friday said she’s selected BlackRock’s Global Chief Investment Strategist Mike Pyle as her chief economic advisor, making him the third high-profile member of Larry Fink’s $7.8 trillion financial empire to take a top job with the Biden White House...

Deese and Pyle, who will not require Senate confirmation, will be the first duo of the modern era to go from the same Wall Street firm to jobs as top economic advisors to the president and vice president of the United States.

Not even Goldman Sachs — famously mocked as “Government Sachs” for its roster of C-Suite executives who’ve moved into powerful DC roles — has managed that feat...
