Greed is Good

            Greed is Good

Wall Street shows us how to live
It’s better to receive than give
For riches they lust
In their lies we did trust

The banks lent money without thought
Toxic assets were what they bought
The banks wanted their money back
So the market wouldn’t have a panic attack

When banks too big - do fail
Their CEO’s should go to jail
The mafia could learn a lot
Wall Street has a better plot

The illuminati I’ve been told
Control the world and all its gold
In Bilderburg they have no fear
They go to meet there once a year

Helicopter Ben opened the gate
Goldman Sachs loves the rate
Ben loans money at one percent
And one percent is what Goldman lent

The Fed makes money out of air
Congress says it doesn’t care
Honest politicians are hard to find
We always get the other kind

The currency rate
Controls our fate
Free trade is not free
Someone pays -- you and me

China has us against the wall
What will happen when they call
NAFTA started the sucking sound
Now the sound is all around

America’s got talent
Obama is gallant
Let me explain
Barack feels your pain

Borrowing money got us in trouble
Now Obama’s creating another bubble
The national debt should make you fret
It’s going up -- on that you can bet

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
