Quick! What's three times bigger than TARP?


Whatever the amount is, the Federal Reserve just gave it away to...well, we don't know to whom. The Federal Reserve won't tell us, not even Congress. Here's what Ben Cohen over at the Huffington Post has to say about all of this, Click here.

For a historical perspective on what happens when We the People lose our sovereignty, check out the Guest Editorial over at Historic City News, entitled: "Unfolding History" by Prof. David Kaiser, professor of Strategy and Policy Department of the United States Naval War College. Prof. Kaiser has previously taught at Carnegie Mellon, Williams College and Harvard University .

Your ego.

Your comment says it all as far as I am concerned!

For expecting anyone to take you seriously when you have demonstrated that you are a member of the tin-hat wearing, birtherist, lunatic fringe...

I'd say the gap between your perceptions and reality is a million times bigger than TARP.

OOOoooooooooooooh, you are a Seeker, Farrar!!!

Very good! Howard Dean today was exposed as a spying spotter for imperial Japan WWII; evidence building now he talked in the kamikazes on U.S. Arizona. Obama just stood by, doing the hula hoop and trying to cut down all our Second Amendment Raahts!

Go kill yourself. The world will be a better place after.

Not for nothin' there, Dave, but did you happen to check out the dateline on Ben Cohen's article? It's from November 2008.

Did you also take the time to read the entire article? If not, lemme highlight this little ditty from the last graf:

The Bush Administration is literally looting the taxpayer on its way out, and awareness must be raised to stop it.

Now, I'm sure you posted this blog entry as yet another attack at Obama, so let me be the first to congratulate you with this sentiment:

EPIC FAIL.

That's hilarious. Word.

No, Max, I didn't catch that. Thanks for pointing that out.

So where does that leave us?

Bush got TARP I passed in October, 2008, as far as I know. And if I am not mistaken, Congress didn't actually vote to approve TARP I, but voted to authorize the Federal Reserve to be given the authority to spend the TARP amount, $700 billion, and any other amount the FED deemed necessary. I could be wrong here, but that is at least my understanding. If anybody knows anything different, please advise. Thank you.

So are we looking at TARP II, III & IV being quietly passed in November, 2008 and only now we are finding out about it! Or did the Fed decide otherwise?

To address your last point: "Now, I'm sure you posted this blog entry as yet another attack at Obama, so let me be the first to congratulate you with this sentiment."

If the Fed has the power to spend two-trillion dollars of taxpayer's credit without so much as a nod from the president, it means the President, whomever it might be, is simply a figurehead, whose only purpose is to keep the peoples' attention distracted, while the real "Sovereign" makes the decisions.

Who is "us" ... ?

"So where does that leave us?"

Us?

I don't really know about the rest here but it leaves me as far away from you as possible.

And I have a feeling by the apparent lack of anyone else posting they've also left you to your own delusional world.

Try solitaire ... It'll keep you busy.

Holly shit, I almost agree. The FED does control our system and we don't have any control over it. Not even our awesome Kenyon president (if the Kenyons had any brains they would have made Obama the FED chairman instead).

Too bad about the second article you link to. I might have even given you a legit rec for a change.
