They were stealing it blind but they had some good deals even if most of our stuff from them fell off their trucks.
I can see why Obama wouldn't want that, would he? He'd sound like Nixon when he said "I am not a crook. That gave us a bad name. They don't need that
So. Sal, what do they want from us. Does he know how rusty we are?
S: I don't think so Ton. There are so many reruns on that they don't realize we have hung it up.
TS: Look paisan, we are just small time goombahs when it comes to Goldman Sachs and those guys. They are in a different league. They get the laws changed before they break them.

TS: Clever. Usually, I don't like ratting but this is really for our country, isn't it. A lot of people are suffering with this bummer in the economy, thanks to all those mergers and Wiseguys in the suites. They know how to earn. We could learn from them.
It sounds like they want to merge with us now.
S: Exactly, Tony, exactly. Here's a chance to make some money and do some good.
