because democrats don t like the pick of steve mnuchin. senator sherrod brown says it s not draining the swamp. they know how to win and they know how to win themselves. he s not just a former goldman partner. he s the sun of a goldman partner. he goes to a hedge fund and gets involved in film finance, which is a business filled with government loopholes but to make matters worse, he ran bank one, which was involved in 36,000 foreclosures tied to the subprime crisis. john paulson became famous in the financial industry from becoming a multibillionaire and betting against subprimes.
the future so that they can get ready with their subprimes. so we want to make certain that we pass an infrastructure strategy that makes sense, that is enduring and predictable. can the white house do more with congress to make that happen? it seems that speaker boehner says he s not going to move on unemployment benefits until the white house has an idea and sort of said the same thing along the lines of the highway bill. thank you. i can tell you that small businesses across the country are calling me and saying they want a congress that works. they want to make sure that this civil this lack of civility is not serving anybody. and it is certainly not serving our small businesses. so we will continue to voice and voice over that we want certainty for small businesses so they can continue to grow n provide for their families as all americans want to have. maria contreras, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. thanks, luke. be in touch. the president s congre
you guys have done to be really effective in communicating this, but in brief, connect the dots. you obviously have a receptive audience. we learned a lot in the interviews. it was really interviewing surreally sage minds that understand the fraud we re dealing with in the film. when wall street realized they could basically win the confidence of the pension system to effectively serve as a collateral for the gambling spree, that s the effect of what happened. it seems to me like you re fed two things. you re fed either fear in the form of terrorism or financial terrorism, but then you re also fed hope. either of these are kind of like a delusion game. one of the things we talk about in the film is like student loans, for example. we re calling them the new subprimes. it s very true, students are turning into serfs.
