Cause and Effect of Goldman Sachs and The Band of Merry Banksters: The Real Story

This Great Recession - officially began in December of 2007 - but unofficially I say it began in March of 2007 - has caused real people some very real, painful and life changing problems. The actions of greed exercised by the likes of Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Citbank, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Bros. and others have brought human disaster to Americans in a way few of them ever thought could happen to them.

The real story of the Banksters is not the illegal actions they all participated in, not the illegal acts they are still participating in and not the "look the other way" attitude our government has taken. The real story has much more of a human core to it. The real story is the hunger, homelessness and destruction of family units.

You hear very little on this topic. In fact, you hear almost nothing. Yes, you may hear about food banks not having enough food to go around, you may hear about homeless shelters that do not have enough room for the homeless but you do not hear about the homeless and hungry themselves.

Yesterday, CBS 60 minutes ran a segment on what I believe should be headline news every day of the week until those that created this human disaster own up to what they did and use their ill gotten money to begin to correct the problem.

Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor. What we have here is a hooded robin who continuously stole from the poor to make themselves richer.
