Democrats are hitting the talk shows with the same old tired rhetoric, ” Wall Street is a wholly owned subsidiary of the GOP“. They continue to tout this over and over.
What is it that the Democrats like to say, “you can have your own opinion, but not your own facts”
Lets look at some facts.
President Obama has been the largest recipient of Wall Street Money then any other president in the past 20 years including George W. Bush. I know if comes as some surprise to #OccupyWallStreet but they are probably protesting in the wrong place. They need to pick themselves up and move on down to the Capital as it was legislation that forced banks to loan money to a, “buy it now, Pay for it later” society. The banks are just the result of poor public policy.
It seemed admirable to get everyone home ownership with no money down and no credit , slow credit, or bad credit loans… but is was not.
Getting folks enslaved in debt, is not the Freedom our founding fathers had in mind when they thought of the role of Government.
See the links to the Sunlight Foundation and OpenSecrets for the documentary evidence that President Obama is speaking out of both sides of his mouth, when he states he identifies with the protestors while taking money from the very wall street Occupy Wall Street is fighting against.
