New Reality Show, CST: Congressional Show Trials

This week on CST: The Bankers

In last week’s season premier: the government inflated the fiat money supply and underwrote mortgage paper which caused massive price increases and induced malinvestment in housing. As this housing bubble predictably collapsed along with the heavily regulated banks and triggered a severe economic crisis, the Bankers sought taxpayer bailout money under vague, indefinable terms. This week on CST: The Bankers, the Bankers are back in front of Congress to answer more vague questions and to be ridiculed for not having met the undefined standards of the Congress. You’ll hear such questions as “what did you do with the money”, “why isn’t the economy better since we stole money from the taxpayers and gave it to you to give to people?”, and viewer favorite "what about Main Street vs. Wall Street"?. Don’t miss the painful exchanges between amoral pragmatist businessmen who are unable to defend private banking or expose the government fraud and ignorant populist congressmen who castigate the Bankers for having made loans to people who could not afford them while chastising the Bankers for not making “more loans”, demanding that mortgage rates be lower so that people can buy more houses, and clamoring for more “oversight”. The tension builds as no one discusses the fundamental causes of the crisis nor offers any ideas about how to solve it. Don’t miss it!

CST: The Big Three – U.S. automakers burdened with pro-union laws, soaring energy prices, uncertain government energy policies, and regulations forcing r&d of unwanted vehicles come to Congress seeking taxpayer bailouts while the congressmen weigh bribes from lobbyists against the political ramifications of redistributing taxpayer money to subsidize shoddily built products that no one wants
