8. I am sick of paying those bloodsuckers |
|
in the financial realm. I no longer use credit cards but can't keep thinking of all those years of paying for them. It seemed that interest rates skyrocketed in the last few years. Citizens are having to bail out Bush and his cronies. We have been robbed blind.

9. Citi Group doesn't deserve anything. |
|
They should reduce their 28% interest on their credit cards first. They are a lot like tobacco companies and deserve punishment.

10. The reports I have seen indicated that their bailout "plan" included |
|
government veto over executive compensation and dividend payments and, at least partial, government ownership of Citi's stock.
If a bailout "plan" is worked out with the auto industry (and I hope it is), some of the same elements (and some new ones specific to the auto industry) should be in that "plan".

15. Bank Failures Ripple All Over The Place... |
|
Once again Helicopter Ben flies in with money to keep another high flying bank that made the big shitpile higher. This bank is "too big to fail"...meaning if they go under, the run on other banks as well as the further tanking of the markets and the credit markets would turn this situation ugly in a hurry.
Of course there's no plan...there never has been. This is panic "management" as Klink Paulsen and the rest of his Wall Street buddies still think they can print money and buy their way out of this mess. Maybe the auto makers should become best buds with Paulsen before he turns our currency into chicken scratch.

19. And Capitol One...They've Already Gotten Their Bailouts |
|
That was done quietly...now your money's in their wallets.
The '05 Bankruptcy Bill, IMHO, is what began this whole mess. It let the foxes run the henhouse...all but legalized predatory lending and forced many into foreclosure and bankruptcy. Quite a while back, President Obama said he wanted to repeal this repressive law...I hope that's still on the agenda.
Cheers...

21. Excellent damn question! |
|
At least, let us see the books. Let us know what we are buying? There is a lot of cut-throat competition between the Big Banks for all this free money. No Questions Asked! Step right up and get $20 billion from the Congress of the People!
