They ask a think thank guy, but before he can say anything, the talking head states it outright, with emphasis, that the think thank is close to employers.

Re: Love it (4.00 / 4)

Schumann, on the big German TV station, reminds everyone that Paulson comes from Goldman Sachs, as did Rubin before him. He says that everyone forgets the effects from the "shadow banking system," which has yet to fall, but it's coming. This major TV sendung uses words like casino and house of cards. Cool.

Re: Love it (4.00 / 3)

It was amazing to me, that a thread on ET would appear as a conversation on top German television. I had the feeling that J was making his points of network tv, supported by an eminence grise from the CDU! who spoke of the difference in salary between the people who brought us to our knees and the people who make our things for us.

i wish i could understand the language better, i'd make a better post.
