Paulson Threatened bankers to accept Gov't $$

www.bloomberg.com...

first thing i thought of was that they let lehman go to give them leverage and scare banks to not want to get on the "govt's" bad side

i.e see what can happen to you should you not "play nice" with us

“If a capital infusion is not appealing, you should be aware that your regulator will require it in any circumstance,” the one-page list of talking points said. “We don’t believe it is tenable to opt out because doing so would leave you vulnerable and exposed

thank god H. Paulson is out.....the bankers proably feared him....not lil timmy

Judicial watch describe's Paulson techniques which they learned of via the FOIA "thuggery"..........LOL..........

bankers are greedy buggers....they were smart enough to know that accepting gov't $ would leave them without absolute control (i.e not free from gov't ownership thru borrowing of funds)

It is amazing to what lengths this government will do to get control of the private sector. It make you wonder what their real motives are?
