Two months ago we "handed" Citigroup, an international bank and mortgage lender, 20 billion dollars as bailout payment. Last week Citigroup purchased a new luxury corporate jet for 50 million. Yet, many of their homeowners, with whom they have home loans, continue to be foreclosed upon. I am totally baffled and
confused.......

rizlared: Don't say you never thought this would happen,

If you give the works of Shakespeare to a group of monkeys and they rip it up, what happens when you give the same monkeys the works of Dickens.

But if you get a new group of monkeys and teach them to read...............


What a fantastic analogy! Bravoapplause

It's very scary. What kind of idiots would foolishly give away reams of money that THEY DON'T HAVE without even thinking to demand that the recipients first SOLVE the problem.

I smell a very big, stinky rat and the distinct odor of trouble to come...
very mad very mad

And there is no way of tracking bail out money,

'coz providing tracking info would "compromise" the reputation of these institutions. Officially justified.

Curious to note that the initial legislation specifically stated that no any individual or government group could ever question how and where the money was used. Complete, absolute immunity.

There are no words...
