Thoughts from Bill Moyer’s Journal

Thoughts from Bill Moyer’s Journal

Congress is bought

But not for naught

Cris Dodd, Barney Frank

Take lobbyist money to the bank

More bonus compensation

Less Wall Street regulation

MIC lobbyist writes the law

Helps to serve the dogs of war

Fed says banks too big to fail

Tighten laws and CEO’s will sail

Wall Street wants less regulation

Economic stagnation

Pundits announce deep recession

Homeless see real depression

Money talks in Washington

Without money, pols can’t run

Bernie Madoff sits in jail

But corruption will prevail

Hedge funds go unregulated

Mortgage loans stay constipated

Rubin, Geitner, summers

Economic bummers

Something rotten in DC

Not so good for you and me

Wall Street has anointed

Ben Bernanke reappointed

Didn’t see the housing bubble

Now the country’s in big trouble

Financial reform illusion

Derivatives causing confusion

Golden Sachs very golden

Explains why Congress is beholden
