This is another on the endless list of examples that politicians will stoop as low as they can to contrive whore/backdoor dealings to try to feather their nest and all of their fellow thieves.

WASHINGTON — Democrats on Wednesday raged against a government funding bill that would provide taxpayer subsidies to risky Wall Street derivatives trading.

It sounds to me like this whore deal is boarding on, if not, being illegal.

“The House of Representatives is about to show us the worst of government for the rich and powerful,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on the Senate floor. She urged her colleagues not to support a “deal negotiated behind closed doors that slips in a provision that would let derivatives traders on Wall Street gamble with taxpayer money and get bailed out by the government when their risky bets threaten to blow up our financial system.”

Is there EVER an end to how the rich and powerful bums that represent us try to screw the public?  Will they EVER act in the publics’ best interest instead of taking us to the cleaners for their own person gains?

The thieving politician that proposed this provision is Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.). She tucked the provision away nicely into a $1 trillion omnibus spending package; probably hoping it would not get noticed.

(How would you like to wake up next to this)

The dirty deal with House Republicans by Mikulski included the derivatives language in exchange for a 16 percent increase in funding for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the agency responsible for overseeing the derivatives market.

I wonder just how much she was on the pad for with the other thieves on Wall Street?

When we thought we have heard it all, the sticky-fingered politicians manage to come up with another scam to burn the American taxpayer.

The Lord better help us because the thieves in DC surely are not!!
