Katrina and Wall St. - Could the contrast be clearer?

[understandinglife]

The bigots and self-righteous members of the cult of greed were all to ready to portray the deplorable lack of response to Katrina as folk awaiting the government to help them as if they had any other hope of survival.





The other meme was the even more bigoted depiction of those trying to survive as nothing more than looting criminals.



We are all well aware of the contrivance.

So, I thought it worthwhile to bring to the attention of those smug creeps the reality of what we have witnessed in the past few days.

In their thousand dollar empty suits and all secure in their multi-million dollar parachutes the avaricious vultures of Wall St. went begging to their buddies in DC …. begging for what ultimately will be dollars deducted from the pay checks of the millions of Americans whom work every day and actually pay taxes.

Government announces $85 billion loan to rescue AIG to stave off further financial turmoil

WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a bid to save financial markets and economy from further turmoil, the U.S. government agreed Tuesday to provide an $85 billion emergency loan to rescue the huge insurer AIG. The Federal Reserve said in a statement it determined that a disorderly failure of AIG could hurt the already delicate financial markets and the economy.

"The President supports the agreement announced this evening by the Federal Reserve," said White House spokesman Tony Fratto. "These steps are taken in the interest of promoting stability in financial markets and limiting damage to the broader economy."

Yep. $85 Billion dollars of OUR money to rescue a bunch of greedy creeps.

And, all those finger-wagers at the most helpless of our society, are sitting in some plush restaurant or club toasting another rip-off of the system while enjoying yet another several thousand dollar extravaganza of food and booze.

Corrupt.

You betcha.

Arrogant.

You betcha.

Self-righteous.

You betcha.
