13. Haven't read you in a while. Still making fun of the BFEE, I see.

Which is funny, considering how the BFEE never seem to be held to account for their criminality.

We the People, OTOH, are called to pick up their tab. Here's what Joseph Stiglitz had to say about Larry Summers, kingpin of such economic Buy Partisanship across multiple administrations.

Larry Summers: Goldman Sacked

By Greg Palast
Reader Supported News, September 16, 2013

Joseph Stiglitz couldn't believe his ears. Here they were in the White House, with President Bill Clinton asking the chiefs of the US Treasury for guidance on the life and death of America's economy, when the Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Larry Summers turns to his boss, Secretary Robert Rubin, and says, "What would Goldman think of that?"

Huh?

Then, at another meeting, Summers said it again: What would Goldman think?

A shocked Stiglitz, then Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, told me he'd turned to Summers, and asked if Summers thought it appropriate to decide US economic policy based on "what Goldman thought." As opposed to say, the facts, or say, the needs of the American public, you know, all that stuff that we heard in Cabinet meetings on The West Wing.

[font color="green"][font size="5"]Summers looked at Stiglitz like Stiglitz was some kind of naive fool who'd read too many civics books. [/font size][/font color]

Of course, BFEE seems to be an outdated term these days. Perhaps calling them the War Party or Wall Street-on-the-Potomac would work.
