Why is this not all over MSM? Rhetorical question people.

How dare you ask for your money back!

This year, more Americans and businesses may be asking: Where's my tax refund?


U.S. taxpayers will continue to bail out these scumbags!! While state and local communities struggle and ultimately will raise taxes.

March 17 (Bloomberg) -- American International Group Inc., the insurer rescued by the U.S., drew $2.2 billion more from a Treasury Department facility to bolster property-casualty units that will be the core of a scaled-back company.


Wouldn't it be great to get a nice fat bonus, for screwing up.

AIG planned to pay out about $100 million in bonuses Wednesday to many of its employees who worked in a division of the firm that was largely responsible for the insurance giant's spectacular meltdown.


This recovery is for the fatcats, the rich are recovering just fine, the middle class will continue to pay for it.

State and local governments also will need to raise taxes to make up for lost revenue.

"It's just becoming evident now," Chris Hoene, director of research for the League of Cities, told CNBC. "It's very sobering."

State and local governments have seen a 13 percent drop in revenue over the last three quarters, according to the Rockefeller Institute of Government.

"We haven't bottomed yet," Ray Scheppach, executive director of the National Governors Association, told CNBC.







Have we had enough yet??

This is a big scam and a half, isn't it.


The bankers are scared.

They're scared, I know it.

They're trying to milk us for whatever they can though and times will continue to be painful.

Elizabeth Warren : I am afraid , I am afraid because of what I see in the real economy , I am afraid because I do not see books that are clean , balance sheets that have been cleaned up ......
