So in a perfect example of government patsies covering for their corporate masters, New York Mayor Bloomberg says Occupy Wall Street should Occupy Capitol Hill instead. Check this out:
It was not the banks who created the mortgage crisis, it was, plain and simple, Congress," said Bloomberg to an Association for a Better New York breakfast meeting."They are the ones who pushed the banks to loan to everybody and now we want to vilify the banks because it's one target," said Bloomberg.
"It's easy to blame them and Congress is certainly not going to blame themselves."
So, Wall Street didn't want to make all that money pushing bad loans and collateralized instruments! They wanted to be responsible bankers like their fathers, but Congress pushed them into it!
Could be ... or perhaps Congress passed all these laws deregulating Wall Street at the behest of the financial industry lobbyists and think tanks, which comprise after all, the top givers to all presidential candidates, including President Obama.
