why are we lending out all this cheap $ to fat cat wall st corporations, when they sit on it

[ShockediSay]

and small corporations can't get the $ to hire and credit worthy borrowers can't get credit to buy housing?

1. because the corporations, mostly through lobbying, run the government /nt

2. Well Wall Street controls the Treasury and owns the Reserve

so when they decided to start stealing money from average taxpayers, they called it lending. We all know now that there will be no revenue paid to the consumer, this is payback for our great 'instant cash advance money check' society. Conflict of Interest disappeared long ago with regulations and oversight.

3. All part of the plan.

When the right figured out they could never win in 2008, they had to come up with a plan to not only help out their rich buddies who go into a mess, but make sure the blame would be laid on the democrats so they could get back in power by blaming it all on Obama! The money is being sat on so that the economy will stay a mess, and they can use it against the democrats in the coming election. No money is being lent by the big banks so small business can not expand and start hiring, once again to keep us in the mess Bush left us, and to be used against the democrats come election time.

When you keep the money from getting out to the public, when you have the MSM on your side making sure all the bad stuff is getting out but not anything good, then you can control the way americans look at things, and control who they will blame. Are americans that stupid to fall for this? Those on the right are, the question will be are the independents and those on the left going to allow this to happen and either vote for the morons that got us into this mess, stay home, give up and not vote, or will they come to their senses and realize if the don't get out and stop the republicans from taking control of congress things will NOT get better and we will get nothing at all done for at least the next two years. We can't afford to waste two more years!

4. Because they control it. We have nothing to do with what goes on in their world.

Well, except to provide them with labor and armies.
