What did Hank Paulson do with the $350 billion? What's the Fed done with the $1.2 trillion? Hmmm... Hey, anyone seen Hank Paulson lately?



Man, those grifters were good.

REALLY good.

Biggest robbery in world history.

The Iraq theft was good. But Paulson's heist was even better.

Gotta give the guy credit.

We. Are. F*cked.

But Hank Paulson, Goldman Sachs CEO, and mastermind of the biggest robbery in the history of the world, is laughing.

BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!

oh man that is so hilariously typical of the Fed and Wall Street to dish it out and Joe 6 Pack to sit there on his couch and take it in the arse like that.

that nice little regulator lady reminds me of my nice aunt who gets walked all over and washes the whole family's dishes after Thanksgiving.

the TARP regulator should be a guy like youtube's WallStreetPro, and he should have a sawed off shotgun and license to use it!

just saying...

The Obama administration should not be expected to do a better job with their half of the TARP bailout package or its inevitable successor. It never makes sense to borrow money (with interest) from our future to sustain ourselves today for in the end, the money that we enjoy today will come at a much greater cost in the future.

We have already destroyed our present, now we turn to destroying our future as well.

A third of the bailout has likely already been paid out in compensation and bonuses (embelzzled) as with Hoover's Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

Interesting how Europe is so busy assessing, analyzing, reviewing and commenting about our economy,
once they turn around and peek at their own situation,
there will be violent riots all across the EU.

To early to predict which minority group will feel the brunt,
quite possibly a full blown internal endless war

Actually I think there will be alot of heads rolling on this one. You know our main trading partner does execute their executives for mistakes? I am not saying that we would go to the same extreme as China.. but I do think we - the US taxpayers - will get our pound or so of flesh over time. Time is needed.

Frankly I was surpised that Obama criticized the Wall Street bonuses from TARP $ - that's a start. When's the last time you heard someone challenge the wall street machine (that still has power? And don't ask Elliott Spitzer what really happened there).

Yeah, our economy bites right now, things will get worse but they will eventually become normal again. Try not to crap in your pants so much, you may need them for your next interview.

What do you expect?
They basically said "In King Paulson We Trust, Do As Thy Wish".
And now you have all this phony outrage as to where the money went.
Oh, guess what? Now it's too late. Should have thought of that before the bill was passed.
DOPES!!!

Ray Charles could see the thief happening back in Oct 08 when Old Hank "Pulled a Paulson" and made off with 350B. I mean come on people...He was on MSNBC every day with his eyes rapidly blinking & warning about the system crashing (It had already happened) & the dire straits we would all be in if Congress didn't give him the cash. If you remember he wanted FULL control of the $800B...We are such saps for letting them get away with it.

You are right-on though Kieth...Paulson will be in the history books as a saint who tried to "Save" us but in reality Bonnie & Clyde should have been crowned King & Queen based on how much more Papa Hank stole from the coffers. It was so clear what was going on...why can't the sheeple see?

BTW: We owe Bonnie & Clyde,Capone,Dillinger & the rest apologies + restitution.

"The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life." - Winston Churchill

Fox News & the MSM played the American public like a harp from hell. The people were so freaked that they abrogated all responsibility to a gang of dimwit thieves, who, still not entirely believing their good fortune, set about stealing not only all the things that were not nailed down securely, but taking out massive loans against all our futures so as to be able to steal the fruits of the next generation's labor as well.

They are counting on "Scandal Fatigue" setting in; that the US public will not have the stomach to go through the endless hearings, subpoenae, and self-serving, buck-passing blather that they will try to shield themselves with in their attempts to hang onto their ill-gotten gains. The upper 1% (the people Bush referred to as "my base") are in deep stealth mode these days.

Their useful fools will parrot the party lines. You will know this when you see phrases such as "witch hunt" and hear endless calls to "move past this."

No doubt, this has been the most massive swindle of the American public in the country's history. And right before our very eyes.

After observing how this has happened, I now know why some countries can allow themselves to simply slip into despotism...the public allows it. Just like the American sheeple have allowed themselves to be raped by the government, wall street, and the home ownership lobby.

Now with the globalists trying to consolidate their socialist hold over the most free country in history, it is only a matter of time before the US, as a Constitutional Republic, folds. Only a concerted effort by freedom loving people will be able to stop the Green/Socialist tsunami that is approaching our shores.

The Iraq theft has nothing to do with oil. It was the use of the war to steal hundreds of billions dollars from tax payers and send it to buddies via no-bid contracts.

But yes Europe is screwed.

During a DEEP recession aren't companies going to cut salaries which will increase foreclosures and further plunge home price.

Did TARP included this when they asked Congress for the money last year.

Lam Research Cuts Salaries As Rev Collapse Continues

To cope with the further decline in business, Lam said it will take additional cost cutting steps; the company said it is working on the details, and will announce them in the first half of March.

More immediately, the company announced plans for an additional 5-day shutdown in February, and a salary reduction ranging from 17.5% for Newberry to 2.5% for the company’s lowest paid workers.

The company previously disclosed plans for a 15% workforce reduction.

If median income drop due to cut in salaries, won't this further reduce median home price.

Will TARP give the same person a second loan modification or a third every time some new comes up.

The missing 1.2 trillion is being used to maintain the DOW at around 8K and what ever the bottom line figure is for the S&P & NAS..

Does anybody seriously believe that the market loses just a few points daily or gains a few hundred? In spite of horrific news and events.

Review the charts for the last few months and tell me that 8K is not the holding point. They will run it up to 9K but thats just a buffer before really bad new is allowed to surface.

I for one feel stupid. I let 'these people' (still not really sure who they are) steal my money. Given a lack of morals, such theft is easy when perpetrated under the guise of 'official' management. The sleeping elephant is still snoozing, but when he finally wakes up and the coffee maker is dry, he will get grumpy. Unfortunately, by that time, the damage will be fatal, but we may still track down Dick Cheney on his luxurious Montana ranch and do a little pheasant hunting.

Paulson the operative.

It was all planned.

Paulson chosen to gift his buddies at Goldman, kills off Lehman, thens leaves the treasury forever via the back door.

Why would government allow one man to make decisions like he did right before he leaves his post - to never be held responsible?

These actions by our government and bankers will be seen in history as outragously stupid and irresponsible.
