Maybe I should just go get a degree in Business Economics, and join Wall Street. I mean, if you can't beat them, join them, right?
Peace be with you.

If your cat told you that, do you think it could give me some good stock tips or lottery numbers before everything goes belly up?
Peace be with you.

And this is KEY for all to be very aware of---Our gov is ENTIRELY owned and controlled by corporate interests, which have NO ONE'S best interests in mind, save for their own. And they will stop at nothing to continue those interests, at the expense of all others. People need to observe the control structure and shine the light of observation brightly on the key players, and let them know we are watching them very, very closely.
But every conservative will tell you that it's the best thing EVER!
In other words, implementation of the massive healthcare bill just enacted by the Congress will be overseen by a former high-level executive of the nation's largest private health insurer. As Marcy Wheeler writes: "It’s a nice trick: send your VP to write a law mandating that the middle class buy #ty products like yours, then watch that VP move into the executive branch to 'oversee' the implementation of the law." Indeed, Fowler played a crucial role in shaping the healthcare bill to ensure there was no public option and to compel every single American to purchase the products of the private healthcare industry (including those of her former employer). As Politico put it last year: "If you drew an organizational chart of major players in the Senate healthcare negotiations, Fowler would be the chief operating officer." It was Fowler who was literally writing the healthcare bills for Baucus which, at least at the time, progressives found so objectionable.
Fowler is the very embodiment of the sleazy Revolving Door and lobbyist-dominated politics which candidate Barack Obama endlessly vowed to subvert.
I just went through an Obama mortgage plan caused default. After 14 months of runaround with the bank the told me I did not qualify and was in default. It cost me $19,000 to get out of the foreclosure. $5364.52 was for attorneys fees. I even had to pay the banks attorney who then spent six months refusing to give my attorney a firm amount so we could pay the arrears caused by Obama's modification plan. Believe me the banks will do everything in their power to make sure they can foreclose and Obama mortgage plan is nothing but a baited trap for trusting families.
