U.S. Presidential debate

Probably the best proof so far that we live in a Fascist system, the Micheal Froman (CitiBank) email to John Podesta on the composition of Obama's cabinet. The exact composition of the Obama administration was determined (by the banker who got the biggest bailout) two months before the election.

The Most Important WikiLeaks Revelation Isn’t About Hillary Clinton

Froman was career Democratic econoimc adviser, who worked for the treasury under Rubin during the Clinton administration. He, like almost everyone else, moved back to the private sector when the administration changed. He was an early Obama supporter, and obviously a prime candidate for an economic advisory role under Obama. He converses with Podesta about cabinet appointments, making "lists" of candidates for top jobs containing... well, exactly who you'd expect them to contain, high-flying Democrats in their respective fields? That Obama bailed out the big banks, on the advice of pretty much every economist, because the whole global financial system was at stake, and letting it fail would have catastrophic economic consequences? That's "the best proof so far we liver under a Fascist system"?

I'm not saying I love the Washington revolving door, but if that's Fascism, then we've been living under Fascism consistently since the mid-18th century.
