1. He's good when he gets going

But this problem is not new. I remember a political cartoon from high school history class. The president was applying a tourniquet to a fat banker and coins were flying out both sleeves and every pocket. The president in the cartoon? Teddy Roosevelt.

[pleah]

2. There were those of us screaming that they should not do this, but,

they did it anyway. And, if they were going to do it, to put tight regulations on the bailout.

As everyone can see now, many of us were right. This was just flat out robbery.

3. It's like congress is trying to screw the country. K&R

This is what I wrote on October 3rd.

5. They should be required to hand over all financial

records, along with detailed financial
plans for economic recovery BEFORE receiving any bailout money,period.

We need to see where the money has been going and
where the money is now going.

Yeah, it's our business because we, the taxpayers are
the ones footing the bill for this bailout.

This makes my blood boil!

:(

Thanks, IHNB.

7. Amen. n/t

8. The banks were not going to use the bailout

...if Congress were going to attach any strings to the money. Well, duh, already. Like we couldn't see this coming.

Congress is not dumb, just complicit.

9. K and R.

10. THE quote of the video

Congress: "Thank you sir, may I have another." to every slimebucket that asks them for anything. Sure, we have the majority and the good will of the people, but the opinions and concerns of you loathesome mother fuckers are more important.

11. k*r $1.6 billion her, $1.6 there. Pretty soon you're talking about real money;) n/t

13. What do people complain about the autoworkers when it is these big CEOs who really rip off the

system? Not only have these big CEOs ripped off the system, they are causing the total collapse of our economy.

These financial CEOs belong behind bars, not with billion dollar bonuses.




:grr:

[grannylib]

14. Amen, and they should have their assets seized before going off to jail.

Prosecute 'em under the RICO act. If these fuckers aren't organized crime, I don't know what is.

15. WTF?
