Are you surprised that they lied?

The Christian Science Monitor is reporting that the Fed began secretly bailing out the big banks before they were authorized to do so by Congress.  So all of that time that Timothy Geithner spent on Capital Hill asking for permission to bail out the banks, he was lying.  He had already started doing it.

Power corrupts.

Money is power.

The formula here is simple.  Money corrupts.

We can't trust the people who are running things.  How can we possibly hope to achieve a good outcome?  This is insanity.
