You’re just now figuring this shit out ?
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) has been battling the banks the last few weeks in an effort to get 60 votes lined up for bankruptcy reform. He’s losing.
On Monday night in an interview with a radio host back home, he came to a stark conclusion: the banks own the Senate.
“And the banks — hard to believe in a time when we’re facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created — are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place,” he said on WJJG 1530 AM’s “Mornings with Ray Hanania.” Progress Illinois picked up the quote.
Really? You’ve just come to the conclusion that the banks own Washington because they oppose this bill?
You didn’t think the banks owned Washington when politicians got rid of all the regulation that was in place for 50 years? You didn’t think the banks owned Washington when they got bailed out during the Savings and Loans scandal? You didn’t think the banks owned Washington when they said, “Fuck you” and gave out huge bonuses this year?
Jesus fucking Christ.
Dick Durbin, you’re a goddamn idiot. How the hell do you still have a job? I mean, if you’re just now realizing the banks own Washington, what else haven’t you realized? Do you still think Iraq has WMDs? Do you still think there’s a link between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein? Do you still think Ronald Reagan was kept in the dark about Iran-Contra?
Goddammit. You’ve been a member of Congress since January 3, 1983, so you know the banks own Washington. You also know that Wall Street owns Washington, the Pharmaceutical industry owns Washington, the Military owns Washington, the Prison industry owns Washington, and the Prostitution industry owns Washington.
So quit acting like this is a huge surprise, and get back to doing your goddamn job – fucking over minorities, giving billions of dollars to Wall Street, and choosing which country we bomb next.
