The House Teabagger/GOP Who Facilitates The Process.


The Week: "A bill called the Swaps Regulatory Improvement Act
recently sailed through the House Financial Services Committee.

But when the New York Times went through emails from a lobbyist to
the congressmen who wrote it, the paper discovered an
unofficial co-author: Citigroup."

"It turns out that recommendations from Citigroup made up 70
of the bill's 85 lines, with two important paragraphs copied
almost verbatim -- save for two words that were changed to make
them plural."
