Perhaps “bubblehead” is a little harsh. In truth, Maria Bartiromo is in fact quite smart. But after watching the following video, I’m reminded of a classic observation by Upton Sinclair: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it” – or, in this case, woman.

Long gone are the go-go years of the 1990s NASDAQ bubble and Joey Ramone’s ode to Ms. pouty lips. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbJxMd3Pls8) Now that the financial system operates much like a casino, it’s truly astounding the mental gymnastics reporters perform to avoid truth telling. Oh well… At least there’s controlled fleecing, order and nice drinks in a casino.

For nearly a decade, Matt Taibbi’s investigative journalism for the Rolling Stone has been among the very best on finance anywhere. Long ago, there was a time when Maria Bartiromo actually earned the respect of fellow journalists. She was more than just a pretty face. In the early to mid 1990s, before the bubble got to her head, she produced insightful, investigative pieces. Today, as CNBC’s ratings crash to a 20 year low (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-08-28/cnbc-core-viewership-drops-fresh-20-year-low-worst-nearly-inception), it’s sad seeing this once great reporter circling the wagons around conventional wisdom and in defense of the companies that represent the majority of CNBC’s advertising revenue.

I've tolerated a ten minute or two every other week of Bartowhomo, she's either playing the ditz and part of the scheme, or she's just a paid business hook, to lead others into the scheme by her word. Kramer used to be so coked up, he didn't think people saw through him. Now that he's been called out and found out "he KRAMER" was part of the corrupt game, and led by the addiction of WSt coke heads.

This is the highest paid "hoodwinker" to get people to trust these markets, and then in ten years, they crash it when they have control. It's why they only want Dems to have 8 years to clean up the messes they make, then reset the system while in power for another crash.

Games people play.

Live within your means, work hard for only what you need or want, and leave the monopoly game to the elites as their connected house of deceitful cards topples over into debtors/bettors prison. Using other people's money in the game, is illegal. These corporations only buy into companies to seize their assets and cut off competition.

Mom and Pop, skilled workers Main St are a threat to their control. These are people who are aware of their capabilities and the corruption that keeps them out of creating jobs for their communities. Their bankers don't lend to community businesses, unless they "deam/determine" it worth owning.

With insurance markets skimming/monopolizing employer insurance, they've been reaming smaller companies and causing them to cut back or withdraw. Now a pool can be there to ensure the workers are healthy, and the people are paying according to their income, age, illness, the same as before, but at least 50% cheaper as there are fraud oversights departments in Affordable Care Act. The insurers who rigged the game of denial of service for bonuses, never oversighted themselves as people died.

WE the people have to get control of what medicines are tested and proven, before introduced into our bodies. If we can get the lobbyist, and Donald Rumsfeld Pharmacy out of the Medicare pt D contract, WE the people stand a chance of a safe vaccine and non side effectual medications that use natural, NOT always LAB chemicals to heal the body.

Rumsfeld's pharmaceuticals, is a quackery factory where the patients are the guinea pigs for the elite's testing for themselves.
