Credit Writedowns: Simon Johnson’s testimony expunged from Congressional records

    Unbelievable.

    One reason I supported Obama over Clinton was that I felt that these "new progressives" needed to go through the political betrayal that many of us elders have experienced. If Clinton had won, she would have been the scapegoat of liberals and the new progressives would have lost the opportunity to learn this difficult lesson.

    Seeing the fundamental corruption in the system is eyeopening and wishing for a political superman is a hopeless fantasy.

    When straight-forward criticisms are expunged from the Congressional record by Democrats - maybe we will start to realize that the game is very different than we were led to believe.

    Happy Halloween

    It's definitely more trick than treat this year. I too had expected more fundamental change. But when Obama picked Geithner and Summers, I knew where this was headed.
