Banking Industry Bailout

Expand Post »
What do you think about bailing out the top slime at the banks, so they can carry home their million dollar bonuses at taxpayer's expense?

Re: Banking Industry Bailout

AP study finds $1.6B went to bailed-out bank execs - and they can't tell us where the other 333billion went!

While everyone was whingeing about loaning money to the auto industry, the bankers were in bed with Bushies - stealing us blind.

Re: Banking Industry Bailout

If I did my job as poorly as it seems the bank and auto execs are doing, that is, if 80+ students a term end up knowing less than when they started the term (which often isn't much), would I be getting a bonus and keeping my job? I think not.

Apparently the entitlement mentality exists at both ends of the spectrum.

Help a needy executive!

Re: Banking Industry Bailout

It looks more and more like the first $300,000,000,000 of the US financial bailout went to friends of Hank Paulson without any trace. Bush has triumphed again!

Re: Banking Industry Bailout

Just heard in the financial news:
The total of bad loans of the Royal Bank of Scotland is equal to the annual revenue of England. That's just one bank.

Re: Banking Industry Bailout

According to former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, the US housing bubble accounted for up to 70% of GDP growth in recent years. This bubble of high risk junk mortgages drove up housing prices and was nothing but virtual/fake value.

due to bad publicity and public outcry that jet was cancelled.

I hope Obama makes those bankers pay back every penny or put them in prison for the remainder of their miserable lives.
