Who Knows What Evil Lurks In The Hearts of Men? The Shadow (Budget) Does



Alrighty - so we're taking a little license this time, borrowing a bit from the tag line of an old radio-days radio show, The Shadow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shadow 

But, this blog entry is not about The Shadow - it's about the Shadow Budget, loosely translated as the mountains of cash and credit our own Federal Reserve http://www.federalreserve.gov/ has put "into" the financial stream of commerce, and how, and why, and who's benefitted and benefitting from this quasi-governmental largesse.

And, no, you won't have to read through my rehashed Zzoottlandese to get to the nitty-gritty gospel truth - rather, like the aggregator zzoott somtimes is, you're being redirected to the venerable Rolling Stone Magazine http://www.rollingstone.com/ for a pre-read of the article that hits the stands on Friday, April 15: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-real-housewives-of-wall-street-look-whos-cashing-in-on-the-bailout-20110411?print=true  Please pardon the zzootted one for the bits of vulgar language the author apparently feels must be salted into popular reporting in order to actually be read - personally, it's plenty zzootty without the bow to base language.


So - who actually does know what evil lurks in the hearts of men - and, apparently, women - you decide.

Now that's zzootty!
