"Nothing to see here .... move along......"says officer Barbrady...


Good thing we just gave 700 billion for things like this...

wheres my 40 acres and a spa treatment?


But seriously, this is to be expected... after all the wealthy must maintain they're way of life; ESPECIALLY at the expense of the poor and the masses.


There will be plenty more of this type of "pork". so if your mad now you might want to avoid this topic in the future cause there are going to be many more instances of this kind of wanton use of our tax dollars..during this heist...oops I mean crisis.

I think its time to begin our march to Washington with out pitchforks. Nothing less will make them listen to what we say.

Then I guess I'm a terrorist. But I have good company with George Washington and the rest of our founders!

So the lawmakers are going to try to play the "We stick up for these people!". Meanwhile they are the ones that passed the $700 billion dollar bail-out. Which still has not helped out the economy.

In fact, they are killing the dollar by printing out money. Think of it this way, if the US has $100 and you owned $10 (%10) of it. They pump another $100 in the economy, guess what, your $10 (%10) turns to $10(5%). Your money literally becomes less powerful.

The $700 billion bailout should have been given to the struggling American people. The money should have never been handed to any place other then to it's rightful owners. These greedy scumbags feed their own friends before leaving scrap for the hard working average Joe. It has to stop!

Well...if I'm not mistaken, they gave the American people a "bailout"...remember the "economy stimulus check"? What great help that was...

and....I saw on the news that the govt. approved billions more for AIG AFTER this incident hit the headlines. How angry can they make me/us?

If only we could refuse to pay taxes...after this who seriously wants to hear the word 'tax' if our money is going to help keep these guys' cushy couches and chairs even cushier.

I wholeheartedly agree. How much of a smack in the M & F'ing face do Americans need to wake the hell up? March on these Leeches. We are pouring out our very lives at work to support these Wealth Mongers. How much is enough?!?!
I call for the prosecution of any executives that engage in this type of activity.
What is the responsibility of them to help themselves?
Fannie and Freddie were the first, then they all just lined up behind them. Are you going to tell me that no-one knew? No one!?.... All this time?
Of course they knew! That's why they did it!
If I could stand before congress, I believe that one phrase should adequately sum up what we all are feeling. "Go to hell you greedy bloodsuckers!!"

I would make a call for the death penalty for corp. execs. that rape the stock holders/consumers/other interested parties of their hard earned cash/retirement funds. This is worse than murder, as it affects 100s of thousands, if not millions of individuals. Make this type of crime (i.e., the Kenneth Lay crime) punishable by death and see how often it still occurs. It may still occur less frequently, and those corp. execs. may work harder to conceal their crime, but that will make it all the more obvious that they knowingly/willingly deceiving for their personal gain.

Noooooo I believe that if you have to take a government handout to bail you out of a mess YOU created, then you shouldn't be spending MY money on spas and golf. But see, the government counts on people like YOU to go along with the program and defend it's stupidity
