Once-homeless veteran's company hires, trains ex-warriors
Pate works closely with Faith Hope Love Charity Inc., of Palm Springs, which provides resources and help for veterans. The charity operates Stand Down, a residential program that orientates vets back into civilian life.
In the past few months, Pate has hired a number of veterans through Stand Down. It costs $6,400 per employee for 12 weeks training including the cost of a seamstress, who teaches them how to sew, the pay they receive during training, and the sewing machines.
"One of the fellows who works for me was on the side of the road with a 'homeless veteran' sign. He, his wife and kid were living in a car," Pate said.

Now Max, you're saying that it's by design for the benefit of the rich to destroy the middle class. Wouldn't that in effect destroy the economy as a whole?
Keiser: No, because if you're a Goldman Sachs banker, you are completely protected from this phenomenon. Plus you're buying gold, you're buying silver and you're buying tangible assets. So you are not taking any risks. It's okay to simply wipe out the middle class. It's a holocaust. Just like the holocaust we saw in WWII. In America we are seeing the holocaust of the middle class by a few extraordinary, greedy, corrupt bankers on Wall Street; principally Goldman Sachs, J.P Morgan and the gang.

Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley Have $20 Billion in Fund Stakes
By Michael J. Moore
Aug. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley have invested almost $20 billion of their own money in private-equity, private-debt, real-estate and hedge funds, meaning they may each have to cut those stakes by more than 60 percent to comply with the so-called Volcker rule.

Reagan insider: 'GOP destroyed U.S. economy'
Commentary: How: Gold. Tax cuts. Debts. Wars. Fat Cats. Class gap. No fiscal discipline
Stage 3. Wall Street's deadly 'vast, unproductive expansion'
Stockman continues pounding away: "The third ominous change in the American economy has been the vast, unproductive expansion of our financial sector." He warns that "Republicans have been oblivious to the grave danger of flooding financial markets with freely printed money and, at the same time, removing traditional restrictions on leverage and speculation." Wrong, not oblivious. Self-interested Republican loyalists like Paulson, Bernanke and Geithner knew exactly what they were doing.
They wanted the economy, markets and the government to be under the absolute control of Wall Street's too-greedy-to-fail banks. They conned Congress and the Fed into bailing out an estimated $23.7 trillion debt. Worse, they have since destroyed meaningful financial reforms. So Wall Street is now back to business as usual blowing another bigger bubble/bust cycle that will culminate in the coming "American Apocalypse."
Stockman refers to Wall Street's surviving banks as "wards of the state." Wrong, the opposite is true. Wall Street now controls Washington, and its "unproductive" trading is "extracting billions from the economy with a lot of pointless speculation in stocks, bonds, commodities and derivatives." Wall Street banks like Goldman were virtually bankrupt, would have never survived without government-guaranteed deposits and "virtually free money from the Fed's discount window to cover their bad bets."
