Comments on: Senator Bernie Sanders: ‘Bernanke is Part of the Problem’ http://wallstreetpit.com/12531-senator-bernie-sanders-bernanke-is-part-of-the-problem Tue, 22 May 2012 19:21:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Gary http://wallstreetpit.com/12531-senator-bernie-sanders-bernanke-is-part-of-the-problem#comment-84123 Gary Tue, 01 Dec 2009 03:35:30 +0000 http://wallstreetpit.com/?p=12531#comment-84123 Wall Street owns most politicians. The clearest proof of that is the appointment of bankers to positions of government, often without any record of public service. Indeed, I suspect many staff at the Pentagon serve defence contractors first and the American people a very, very distant second. The revolving door needs to shut, to ensure those who enter government cannot profit from it. Bernanke says his job is to maintain a stable economy, but really he looks after the interests of the banks; ordinary Americans are an irrelevance, its all about looking after the wealthy elite.

What did he think would happen. Obama shows the door to the people who gave him the money to get elected. The people on Wall Street have Obama on a short leash and they are not about to let go.
