The Lie Continues
Listening to the cable news you'd think the economic disaster were a natural disaster that not a soul could have prevented.
The way it is being reported is as if the people that are there had nothing to do with this. Or that congress had nothing to do with it. Thankfully a few of our elected officials are insisting that people who are at risk of losing their homes are included in whatever plan is devised.
The golden parachutes are still under negotiation so we'll have to wait on that. I sure hope they get shot down. To grant those would be the same as ignoring the culpability of Paulson and Bernanke.
I don't see how the reporting could be applauding, and it is, the likes of Paulson and Bernanke and even considering golden parachutes. This is a fantasy show without a doubt.
And the negotiations to bail out foreign banks are still ongoing. Thats another joke. Why are we even considering having U.S. taxpayers bail out foreign banks.
The congress and Bush are fighting over new powers for the treasury. This has a familiar ring to it.
This is a travesty. Taxpayer dollars are being stolen by the very people that brought us this mess, all of whom are Wall Street born and bred. Make no doubt about it.
