NOT nominate Larry Summers to the Fed, thereby rewarding the industry that crashed the economy

Created by J.M. on September 13, 2013

Just five years ago the self declared geniuses of Wall Street destroyed the real economy, finalizing a process that had been building for over twenty years. In their ruthless pursuit of their own obscene wealth, with a philosophy of "Heads I win, Tails I win", they ignored the obvious signs of approaching disaster to steal a few more millions from those of us who create real value working in our country.

Larry Summers epitomizes this crowd. His proponents claim that his Wall Street experience provides him with "real world" experience which will benefit the Fed. This is a lie. In the real world, if you steal from your customers or misread the market into which you are selling, you are either jailed or fired. Instead, these "Titans of Wall Street" collected their bonuses.
