HUH?!? New Koch Brothers’ Ad Praises Bernie Sanders!
Freedom Partners, a Koch funded group ran an ad praising Bernie Sanders. That might seem strange since Bernie is basically a sworn mortal enemy of the Koch brothers. Watching Ted Cruz call Mitch McConnell a liar on the floor of the Senate might also seem strange but all these events are connected.
Crony capitalism is at the heart of the issue, specifically the Export-Import Bank. The bank is a huge source of corporate welfare for some of Americas most well known K street beggars such as GE and Boeing. A contingent of very progressive and very conservative lawmakers have made multiple attempts to eliminate the bank but for some strange reason the establishment of both parties always stops them. Hmm, could the survival of the Ex-Im Bank have something to do with massive campaign contributions Boeing makes to both political parties?
This is the ad:

Crony capitalism and the Koch brothers. Sounds interesting, and corrupt.
Could be the lesser of two evils choice. With the psychotic Hillary, WWIII and accompanying destruction, is as likely as not. With Bernie, moguls' assets might be nationalized but remain intact where moguls still have jobs.
Ron Paul agrees and suggests Congress should start dismantling the corporate welfare state by killing the export- import bank and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation
This is the big problem. No reason to give the corporations any type of welfare. After all, the FED has implemented a Trillion Dollar stealth QE to try and prop up the corporations and the economy. It is likely that it will fail miserably since our manufacturing base has evaporated.
One thing we must remember is that our money system is based on DEBT! ;)
