Beskrivelse af Balderdash & Poppycock
Balderdash & Poppycock provides a wry & irreverent chronology of the Social, Economic, Political, Financial, Business, Labor and Legal events that got us here. From the first bank bailout by Alexander Hamilton to the Contract with America that helped create the housing bubble; from Shay's Rebellion brought about by monetary policy of the times to the abuses by bankers and politicians of the late Twentieth and early Twenty First Century you will enjoy insights into the nature of the American Experience and Democracy at work that will make you laugh, anger you and have you shaking your head at the stupidity that passed for wisdom. Follow the Supreme Court decisions that opened the markets for big banking and how those decisions created an environment for financial abuses as Congress failed to recognize the dangers presented by those decisions despite the warnings of the court. Follow the path allowing the egregious behavior of the Wall Street banks and beltway politicians tantamount to the Railroad tycoons and the associated scandals of the 19th century that brought us to the financial crisis of the early 21st century. Everybody gets thrown under the bus, Demon-Krates, Rip-Offli-Kans, Inde-pundits and Liber-tinKs in all their Kafkaesque glory as they get slammed as factionalism, ignorance, greed, power lust and apathy destroyed the financial foundation of the nation.
