Two months ago the GAO made their report to congress. According to page 131 of GAO Report No. GAO-11-696 16 trillion dollars was given to banks (more than our debt) in the reported time period. This is interesting information. But even more interesting is that we have not heard a word about this in the 2 months that have passed. Not from our representatives, not from our president, and not from our own media. There is a question here that begs to be answered. Who is working for the people, because it is becoming very obvious who is working for the financial industry?

Yay for posting this! I had it on here a day or two ago. I wish we had real software so important stuff does not get buried.

I guess we just need to keep posting it, or posting on it. I wanted to make sure the info was out there.

You should have that condition looked into. I am guessing you have health insurance, but so many do not and we don't want them to catch whatever it is you have.
