They talk about war on terror when they are the terrorist! Using fear of martial law in America if this bill wasn't passed to me is a terrorist act. They are using fear to get everything they want. Fear of martial law,fear of protesting and being arrested for exercising our RIGHT, fear of a crashed economy, fear of terrorist attacking us again. They are waging war against the very thing they have become. Where is our liberation?Are you all too scared? Would you rather die on your feet fighting or would you rather live on your knees as a slave? God help your children for your cowardice. I truly fear for the life they will have because you were to much of a bunch of cowards to save their future.

They get away with this because we the people let them. If we showed them we will not stand by and let them continue to do these things they'll have no choice but to stop or suffer the consequences. Where is our military that took an oath to defend us from these very types of things? Our government has become a domestic threat to we the people.


Correct. However you are probably very much like myself. Someone who shouts a lot, is made to look like an idiot, than scuttles away back to the anonymity of a keyboard.

We are all slaves and we are still scared of masser's whip. Until we lose the fear we will always be slaves.

Interesting to point out that Paulson now is one of the man in this nation with more power than the president when it comes to misused and mishandling tax payer money.

Even when more than half of America are against of him doing the mishandling.

This nation has been turned into a dictatorship and people do not even realized, and we don't need to keep the moron in the White house after all he already had people doing the controlling in government.

A majority of Americans aren't happy with the way Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is handling his job or with the financial rescue package he and Congress created, according to a poll released Wednesday.

Of 1,058 people surveyed in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll, 64% said they disapproved of Paulson's performance and 28% said they approved. The poll was conducted on Oct. 17-19 and the margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points.


Even when is only 1,058 people surveyed the trend of 64% percent is bound to increased of decrease slightly.

Let people understand that we have a government that is working against the wishes of the American people right now as today and they careless of what the tax payer citizens of this nation thinks about it, but rest assure that they are doing everything they can to step over American rights if the citizens decide to stand up and fight back.

Our government has become a dictatorship on their own rights because they made the laws after all.

Can anyone direct me to an alternative for farm4.static.flickr.com...

I really want to see this document, but the link won't ever finish loading.

Here on ATS we all noticed and commented on the new Tzar powers of the Treasury (especially there self-proclaimed infallibility).

But I believe this legislation can be challenged Constitutionally. Especially given its improper roots. I wonder if there are any suicidal legislators out there willing to challenge it?

Not bad for the ex CEO of Goldman Sachs.

No wonder people are pissed . . . here's who he's protecting and their annual compensation packages from last year . . . . Lloyd Blankenfien $70,324,352, Gary Cohn $72,511,357, Jon Winkelried $71,455,426, David Viniar $58,467,136 and Edward Forst $49,058,582.

They, by the way, are the current executive officers of none other than Goldman Sachs. Blakenfien took over for Paulson after he got the head honcho job.

It isn't real far fetched to see who pulls the string of that puppet, and it is ever easier to see why the average person is not satisfied with the job that puppet's doing . . . and why they'll continue to hide as much information from us as possible.

I knew BS like this would happen as soon as I read the article in this thread, Paulson to Hire Private Contractors to Handle Bailout Billions.

What they're probably "blacking out" is how overpaid they are and their MILLIONS in bonuses they will receive!

One of the most outrageous and treasonous act of congress is to allow the bill that he created with the blessing of his pimps to gain that power over the people's elected government.

Yes this unconstitutional and yes it can be challenged but if we have our own congress selling themselves out is only the people now to do the job of challenging the powers.

But then again so unconstiutional was the patriot act and we are still having it been shoved up our butts in this nation today.

Grit your teeth and grab your ankles . . . it's gonna get a lot worse and will continue to do so until some of these fatcats and bigwigs fess up to the mess they've made instead of playing CYA and passing the buck.

Check out this load of horsecrap brought to you by Alan Greenspan . . .

try not to puke

Credit tsunami.

Right.

Coulda-woulda-shoulda

Sad thing is, while they 'fix' this mess in the favour of their cronies, we have little choice but to take the reaming as clearly guys like Paulson (and their decisions) are beyond reproach and by their own making, untouchable.

Gotta love democracy.

This is just REALLY hard to believe!

Treasury Blacks Out Key Parts of Private Bailout Contracts


Paulson and his cronies don't want the American taxpayer to know how much we are paying these guys to give OUR money (or debt) away!

I wonder how much further these accounting firms are putting us into debt on top of the bailout itself!

I just can't understand why our Treasury Dept. couldn't have handled this themselves, instead of outsourcing to a private company that we, and Paulson, know will end up costing us more money!

Based on the number of hours listed and the 'price ceiling' of $300,000, they're being charged at an average rate of approximately 80 bucks an hour.

You know that legal assistant a the bottom of that list won't be making anywhere near that . . . maybe ten bucks an hour or so.

Taking that out, you're at an average hourly rate of $114.

Thanks, I should have looked a little closer at the document!

I'm sure this bill(?) is just for dealing with a small part of the bailout though. I wonder how many more of these "bills" we will have to pay for by the time this "bailout" is all over!

Notice also under B2, sections a and b, which state that when incurred costs exceed 85% of the $300,000, basically come back and tell us what the new amount will be. Section c says "we're not obligated to necessarily pay you the excess, but don't worry, wink, wink, we will. We just want to keep the initial figure low so those darned taxpayers who are really paying for your services don't scream bloody murder. Their shouts are already loud enough. We wish they would just shut up and take their medicine, and be good little slaves."

So here's a simple solution: boycott the banking systems! How long can they last if we're not using them?? Granted, it won't be easy, but we can still technically do it while we have paper money. Once we're forced to completely go electronic, then it's all or nothing, and we'll be forced to use them just to pay our taxes.
