27. Who do YOU trust with your money?

Mon Jan 7, 2013, 10:53 AM

Jan 2013

Do you trust your pot smoking pal who cannot even remember where he left his pipe? Or do you trust your bank? Answer: your bank.

And if you can trust a bank with your own money, then surely we can trust banks to responsibly manage our nation's money. Where do all the banker people work? Wall Street!

I think we should petition President Obama to change th name Wall Street to 'Trust Street'! This is how I know that Matt Taibbi and his crusade against Wall Street (aka Trust Street) and bankers is wrong.

Also, President Obama needs to try and get more Wall Street people working in his administration because he doesn't have nearly enough.
