he used to work for the giant banking conglomerate citigroup. his predecessor as chief of staff is bill daley, who used to work at the giant banking conglomerate jpmorgan chase. daley was maestro of the bank's global lobbying and the chief liaison to the white house. bill daley replaced obama's first chief of staff, rahm emanuel, who once worked for a wall street firm where he was paid a reported $18.5 million in less than three years. the new chief of staff, jack lew, comes from obama's office of management and budget, where he replaced peter orszag, who now works as vice chairman for global banking at the giant conglomerate citigroup. still following me? it's startling the number of high-ranking obama officials who have spun through the revolving door between the white house and the sacred halls of investment banking. but remember, it was bush and cheney's cronies in big business who helped walk us right into the blast furnace of financial meltdown. then they rushed to save the banks with taxpayer money. but of course, bush and cheney aren't th

particularly the poor income taxes the current system very easily and would above all follow rip us banking principles which would not expose the broader economy to systemic risk is the current system unhappily does we're now looking to partner with or perhaps even a quad banks who might help us connect these principles in reality so that we actually set up a bank to fulfil these ideals this is not an easy thing to do banking legislation is extremely complex and it's basically set up to protect the monopolistic behavior of the big banks but we are trying one carious have you found any banks that you feel are worthy enough to actually work with and trying to enact this new system arena is there anybody out there that isn't in some way tainted. i think i think there are banks out there actually there's quite a lot of community banks local credit unions that are doing really excellent work and i think what we're trying to design and think about is a bank that would take these principles to a much bigger scale that would have been profitable potentially for everybody in the come. where's the mo

central banks around the world including the federal reserve are buying all these bonds and a lot of us banks because of the regulations are basically being forced to buy these bonds so there is a lot of phony demand for treasuries that's out there but eventually like all bubbles it's going to burst treasury prices are going to plug interest rates are going to skyrocket i mean it's a huge disaster that is waiting in the wings and if you watch the president say the union address you would have no idea you know it's kind of the equivalent of the cap of the titanic sound of the all clear from the bridge even after they've hit the iceberg i mean we are headed for a real financial disaster yet he's talking politics as if this is business as usual and i want to get to the president but is there something that's counterintuitive there though that that does support the treasury market in the short term before rates will eventually rise because banks let's say they have no really good place to put their money especially with what the fed is doing twisting the curve which also doesn't make sense to me

wasn't much money at the crash or bank there was a run on that bank and it collapsed after snorer us bank and lithuania taken over by the lithuanian state anyway then there were rumors that the government saying was via twitter so lothian authorities said that a run on swedish banks in lafayette was started by false rumors aimed at destabilizing the country and that is police forces were investigating the matter but of course this nation has embraced the neo liberal banks are financialization model and these are the same guys that do spread false rumors in order to you know benefit from the credit default swaps they've bought on any of these banks or nations falling apart or crash and rumored to be bankrupt about groping and sneezing. well you know rumors of course are as good as anything else the entire global economy runs on rumors goes rumors traded chicago mercantile exchange of c m a c f.t.c. doesn't regulate rumors and create rumors and cash in on the rumors and everyone plays all starry measures it's all about the rumors are i think sam or thanks so much for being on the kaiser rep

people in the us you say that they haven't engaged in this carry trade mortgage but the banks in the us have a lapse and then america's on the hook for austerity measures and bailouts so they are paying well just to put into context how much these mortgage holders have been hit the franc bought one hundred sixty hungary and forints in the summer of two thousand and eight but as strange as so much that it can command two hundred forty eight four into at the moment so it's almost doubled the exchange rate you know it's like offering a consumer tainted meat. that is against the law you can't sell somebody tainted mate and now and people say oh you know this whole wave of anti-capitalism is destructive no it's not about anti-capitalism it's about being anti the sellers of tainted meat i eat meat but i don't want to be sold tainted meat that doesn't make me a vegetarian still a capitalist i just don't want to be tainted meat now these banks offer the equivalent of tainted corrupted maggot infested products that are sold to them by these people of the mist sold to these people that doesn't

don't talk in mainstream media about the riots and demonstrations challenging the power of the us banking oligarchies we do not want to see internal unrest that exists right now in the united states which is very serious and they are. absolutely not reported in the french media nothing zero whereas all day long we hear about the arab spring we were given nonstop coverage of libya and we hear about syria all day long. the streets demonstrations and political rallies in the us are important i haven't seen bashar al assad ask obama to step down or the queen of england there is also a lot of social unrest in england so in reality the problem is that in this world what we call the empire dominates the western media people small all this and think that all is well in the us it's the largest democracy in the world but now against syria it's fire and blood gadhafi was eating small children in the french media and i don't just mean mainstream media but also newspapers that were traditionally read by french intellectuals. there is a total collapse of political analysis in france the only serious an

bank. no nonsense. just people sense. >>> okay, this is a conversation that matters to all of us because we all bank andl have an opinion about the banks and we have all been affected by the banks. if you're wealthy and well off and you have good credit, the banks have been fantastic to you. if you're not in those positions or you're jobless or you're an underwater home, you may want to hate the banks. but how do you fix the banking system going forward? the problem here is that for at least the last 15 years, the concept of regulating financial institutions has been to put people in charge of them who will do their best largely to stand -- to not stand in the way of these companies becoming strong and profitable and big. adam, you wrote in "the new york times" magazine last weekend, one lesson of this crisis is that regulation, no matter how well intended, cannot be trusted to rein in wall street. so you're saying we need more regulation. you're saying it's not going to work. >> i think there are regulations that can work, i just think that people overemphasize the idea, oh, we just need more regulatio

and bets upon bets upon bets, the ceos of these banks had no idea what their companies were producing. >> let me give you an example. the thing that broke uswn, most people couldn't even explain what it was. if we're all on the same side of this thing, and i think most people are, there's a problem, the banking system doesn't need to go away, it needs to be fixed, why can't it get fixed? why can't we properly regulate banks as adam points out? is it the lobby? is it that wall street is too entrenched in washington or vice versa? what's the problem? >> well, i think adam did point very effectively to the fact that it's the case with all special interest lobbying. the banks care about this a lot more than everybody else does and so they are really, you know, focusing on it with laser precision. it's also really complicated issue. but i do want to push back against an idea that adam was advancing, although adam i'm a huge fan of yours. i think you're brilliant. but there is a little bit of a fatalism in what you were saying about this notion that crises are inevitable. we can't rely on regulation to save us. of course that's true. i'm hearing
