Walt Thiessen and Bill Westmiller discuss early election surveys,
government audits reporting billions of "lost" dollars, how corporations evade
taxes by strictly following the law, and NSA incompetence.
The hosts review new surveys indicating that 70% of voters believe most
politicians can be bought, using their power to benefit friends and hurt
enemies. Looking ahead to the 2016 Presidential race, its a contest between
Hillary and Rand Paul. Bill suggests they simply cancel the primaries and start
campaigning now.
Banks don't have enough money in their vaults to cover their loan risks,
so they'll have to find $68 billion to avoid being "to big to fail." The FED
is Yellen at them. Congress is worried about corporations who have figured
out how to legally avoid $2.1 trillion in taxes: they just leave their
profits overseas.
NSA spying has transformed into active propaganda on social networks,
particularly in foreign countries. Hundreds of Homeland Security staff spend
their time on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, spreading false stories and
deception. Just in case they're still reading emails, former President Jimmy
Carter has decided not to use email to talk with foreign leaders: he writes
letters and mails them.
