Shoutout to Dennis Kucinich

I saw Dennis Kucinich in a congressional hearing last night talking to some front man for the Powers that Be.

Dennis Kucinich pointed out to this scumbag....err....I'm sorry.....guy about how Bank of America was allocated $15 billion from the TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) money, and so far of the $7 Billion out of the $15 billion they've received, they've used all of it on investing in a construction bank in CHINA.

I also remember watching a hearing back in March in which Kucinich pointed out that in the same month that the $750 billion was passed in the politboro.......errrr....I mean our congress, CITI made an 8 BILLION dollar loan to a construction company in Dubai.

And on top of that, we now know that the Federal Reserve (which is about as federal as Federal Express) has been incentivising the top banks in this country to deposit money into Fed Reserve accounts at high interest rates. The Fed now has over $887 BILLION in excess reserves.

Hooray for Portland, Oregon!!

Just wanna give a shoutout to the courageous city of Portland, Oregon for voting to legalize hemp.

Their bill now has to be approved by the governor of that state (and I hope he/she does sign it).
