State Present to Citizens: A Santa Claus Screwing

"Fed Shrugged as Subprime Crisis Spread"

"WASHINGTON — Until the boom in subprime mortgages turned into a national nightmare this summer, the few people who tried to warn federal banking officials might as well have been talking to themselves."

Well, that's the GOVERNMENT that CARES about YOU, huh, Amurkn?


"Goldman Sachs $10b hedge fund may break record"

"Goldman Sachs Investment Group may start its newest stock hedge fund with as much as $10 billion in what would be the biggest debut in the industry's history, two people with knowledge of the fund said."

Well, aren't you happy that Goldman's is doing so well, readers?

Meanwhile, my gov wants to cut the corporations a tax break...

"Governor Patrick is open to a corporate tax-rate cut"

as his Turnpike Authority STICKS IT TO US:

"Turnpike looks to speeders, carpoolers for more revenue"

"Carpoolers are in line for a rate increase next year, and more speeders would be ticketed under a budget plan approved yesterday by the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority Board, which is looking for ways to raise revenue."

So YOU will pay for the TAX CUT for CORPORATIONS, Massachusetts resident!

Bend over!
