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?
No one died when Clinton lied.
I think that if they can get away with it.........they will.

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.

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!

Everyone's gotta believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink.

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!

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.

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.

I hope Obama makes those bankers pay back every penny or put them in prison for the remainder of their miserable lives.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
