Whom who might these private firms be? Could they be the same bankers that have ruined the country's economy? The same bankers that are responsible for the housing market collapse? The same bankers that got federal bail outs for fucking up with get out of jail free passes while the middle class & poor got stiffed with the bill?

Could it be the same bankers whom just hired Romney's campaign co-chair to be the CEO of one the top banking- industry lobbyist firms?
