Just out of curiousity, how did the bank executives travel to Washington? |
|
Since they are asking for 28 times as much money as the auto industry (and as a handout, not a loan), I'm curious why the media wasn't all over this. I assume many of them came in private planes as well.
I'm not defending the auto executives going in private planes. I think it was stupid, and shows a real disconnect. However, let's hear about the banking executives. How did they get to their hearings?

I did not hear a media firestorm on how the banking executives travelled to Washington. Did you?

8. In sledges drawn by yoked serfs. To reduce friction on the roadways |
|
the route was covered with shredded subprime mortgages and credit default swaps.

I'm really surprised CNN didn't pick up on THAT.
