Re: Good News! Wall Street bonuses up 5.7% - $135 billion

We know who led the push to give our tax dollars to the boys on WS.
Barney Frank, (D-MA), the Chairman of the House Financial Services
Committee, and Gary Ackerman (D-NY).

One of the ploys of manipulation and bribery by the powerful Jewish
Lobby is to send Senators & Congressmen on lavish trips to Israel. In
January of 2007, the issue of these trips was 'discussed' in Congress.
But Barney Frank made sure that the Congressional junkets to Israel
would continue.

NY Congressman Gary Ackerman is another bought politician. The
American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has a special Web
Site promotion of Ackerman — just for him! Why? He's been bought,
that's why.
