Is it true that the quantitative easing includes buying treasury bonds through goldman sachs for which Ben Bernake has close ties? As opposed to buying directly from the treasury.

Yes amazing, just like it's sooo amazing that the AZ immigration law was written by the prison lobby.

I need to get in with one of these companies that gets to legislate their own profit level, must be a hell of a thing.

You guys need to read the fine print.

Once again, congress has passed a law that does not affect themselves. Chartered flights are not subject to the same searches and security. Hence, Congress, the Senate, and other rich folks will never have to deal with having their balls fondled and their 13 year old daughter's vagina grabbed by a guy who's last job was flipping burgers at Mcdonalds.

Just like the health care bill exempts them (not just democrats) and their friends.

And so on, and so on.
