Treasury Dept. Hides Taxpayer Contracts, CNBC - 10/23/08

I appeared on CNBC to discuss relevations that the Bush Treasury Department is redacting sections of government-corporate contracts that detail how much taxpayer cash private firms are receiving as part of the Wall Street bailout.

You can see those documents at these three links:

So what else is new. The government must have lots of those back pens that color transparent pages. Ha. Everything in government must be transparent, always. No exceptions. Know this before hand and accept it or don't play.

What this suggests to me is that even parts of the Establishment and

the business community are waking up to the kleptocracy - and

specifically, to how the intersection of kleptocracy and this bailout

bill could continue to undermine confidence in the economy.
