Paulson is doing his masters' bidding. Nothing more, and nothing less. Remember how this began? The world was going to end within days if Congress didn't pass emergency legislation granting him authority to use 700 billion immediately, in any way the Treasury saw fit? Now, that number...

I am not in favor of this, but it would be money FAR better spent than the 8 trillion now pledged by Paulson to bailout the worst financial institutions, that had no risk control, and allowed absolute greed to motivate the most irresponsible decisions imaginable. This nation's fiscal policies...

Stoney, 'The Awakening' may turn out to be the longest and flattest trading range in equity markets in a long, long time.

I've asked you this at least once before, and I'll ask you again. What relevance is it to this event that the judge is Jewish? Are you insinuating that Jews are responsible for what you perceive and imply as moral decay? If so, just say that directly. Regarding the fundamental story...

Of course it needs a working banking system. The only thing the gov't needed to do was raise FDIC limits on deposits - not hand out trillions in pledges and direct infusions of taxpayer $$$ to deathly sick banks. There are healthy banks in the U.S. that are responsible. All this money...

The U.S. needs jobs. The jobs outlook is bad and deteriorating at a rapid clip in the U.S. 0% interest rates and massive government spending and taxpayer funded bailout of Wall Street won't do a damned thing to fix what ails us. Show me a poor, unemployed person who buys a big ticket...

I swear to G_d that I've never been more disenchanted and disgusted with out political system and governmental structure as I am now. There is no doubt in my mind that the Federal Reserve needs to be disbanded, and the Treasury Department needs to be brought under taxpayer oversight directly...

Thanks for that chart. "Other assets" must mean toxic waste that was pawned off to the taxpayers. It makes me sick to my stomach.

Do we get to keep Hawaii, or is that already gone to Japan?

I thought I knew and had seen bad government, but we are in an epic era of limitless corruption in America. I now know why Andrew Jackson killed the central bank, and why the corrupt insiders brought it back in the early 1900s. Andrew Jackson was a very brave and honorable man...

The U.S. government’s emergency rescue of Citigroup Inc. offers a new model for bank bailouts: explicitly insuring against losses on toxic assets, with taxpayers footing the bill. The U.S. Government has officially and ultimately betrayed U.S. taxpayers in the most direct, transparent and...

What will the *official* unemployment rate be on November 24th, 2009? Whoever is closest wins a either a Butterball Frozen Turkey or Torfurki (for the vegans). Torfurki's are disgusting, but if you insist... ***Vote on the poll options above (ranges), but write in a specific figure...

WTF are you talking about? Did you not get the memo on how Bush/Paulson are f**king over the American Taxpayers of the near and loing term future with 7.4 trillion in welfare to financial institutions? Stick your apology up your ass.

Anyone who doesn't think this is one of the biggest tax payer robberies in the history of this nation is either ignorant or aligned with the interests of those getting the bailouts. There's not much middle ground. Past generations would have said "no way, no how. We won't let you shaft...

The U.S. is sinking, my fellow Americans.
