Where did the Bailout Money Go?

[MaddDogg81]

fucking governmetn always think they are right and know what's best

[lamourlupus]

John Stossel is decent, but after becoming aware of who he is - I no longer respect his public views. He validates George Carlin's observations.

[Elk9085]

We must get back to letting the Constitution be the document empowering the people as a whole, that includes BIG businesses, to make good sound business choices without the the comforting knowledge that the Feds will come running to solve our problems like an overprotected mommy.

[Nstar76]

Ya I was real happy to give that nice Honest Bust Family and the Tricky Dick family and all there Friends all that cash. Ya helped me alright Why wasn't that sub somewhere else that pick up that garbage out of the ocean in WW2

[Nstar76]

What did they use for collateral was higher interest rates for Credit Cards and higher bank fees. Not bad used money for bonuses them screw the little guy some more. Do you think any of these companies would have gone belly up if they didn't get the money? Wake up people get rid of CC anyway you can!!!! Use debit cards thru Credit Union if you have too

[ladysassy]

People are awake, they know to some degree that the government has failed. Thing is that there is no movement or an opposition, who can smack the government around and put them in their place. Protest march don't do justice to anybody. I believe that people are waiting for a true leader who is willing to go through the grind of pain and humiliation that is going to take to put an end to this mess. Right now as long as the people have enough money and food on the table, no change will occur.

Till the day that children barrel carts full of money notes, then revolution can begin.

That Frank needs to go to jail. No Mr Frank, all the investors saw, Ford, Gm, Chrysler, AIG, Merril, BoA, Goldmans, and Citi plus all the other institutions as poor investments. Those banks absorbed way too many medium sized banks creating Monopolistic blocks. As well as both parties chipping away at the Glass-Segal act that separated both fiance and banks. If anything you gave those who gave to the Dem party. A nice fat kickback paid by us.

[jerami101]

Aside from lining a lot of bankers pockets, I think it's pretty clear that our military push in Afganistan and Pakistan is where the majority went! The U.S. is desperate to stay on top!

[jduran9123]

Yeah the Federal Reserve were responsible for the Great Depression and our current financial crisis, dickhead, and I'm sure you're well aware of that. It is, after all, the private banks that bring "money" into circulation by issuing lines of "credit", which is money that does not, has never, and will never exist.

All this manipulation is made possible by allowing private banksters(with the control of stockmarkets, governments, mass media)to control how much credit or "money" is in circulation.

[WhatCanIsay100]

Banks i want my fucking money back.

Because our government does not know how to fix the system.

Give me a fucking break this is 2010 not 1910. I know where my money goes.

[How5by5]

All the big shots took trips with the money...Credit card rates sure did not go down......Nothing changed in the banks...They should ask for the money back......

[TJ8974]

Barney Frank is an idiot, stossel asked him a question and he totally didnt answer it. classic liberal democrat way, ignoring the facts

[wolfgar50]

[jorgandar]

@wolfgar50 fuck you. homosexuals? last i checked they were going to strip clubs. jerk. you don't deserve a job. fuck off.

[Cervezasi]

Barney Frank: " I am somewhat concerned about it?" Who the hell would elect that moron to office?

[thy422]

exact fucking ly my friend

[fernandag26]

We are the collateral! We are the collateral. We are the hamsters on the wheel.......God! They will get the return on the trillions back!!! Then they will lend some more.....the unending game of musical chairs!!!!!!!!!

[Caerdrys]

I'm sorry, but is that actually Barney Frank's voice. I burst out laughing when I heard it.

[mcacts1]

They didn't even read the Dam Bill!!! Idiots!! Who is in charge? IDIOTS!!! who is in charge?

CHANGE...Where is our messiah? OBAMA!!

Read the fine print!!

[nalejbank]

A little earlier this evening the House passed the Obama Cap and Trade, 800+ Billion dollar bill that is over 1,300 pages. At 4 am, more than 400 pages were added to the bill and the Representatives had less than 24 hours to read the whole thing - yet it passed! Congressman Ron Paul was right.  People are waking up but will it be in time? Future administrations can undo the damage by rescinding the bill but recovery may take time. Join the Campaign for Liberty (.com) today to restore liberty.

"Hey Ben Bernanke, inflate this!"

(throws grenade)

. . . (explosion)

X__X

"This just in, the Fed chairman, 'Bad Bad'' Ben Bernanke suffered a mysterious fatal wound. More details later on."

(the whole world continues to buy silver.)

[hegy98]

not like it really matters. the dollar is a dying currency anyway.

[IndIka024]

The money given to the banks was supposed to be used to buy failed assets.. which is a way of saying forclosed homes.. the idea was to keep people housed, and employed. However they have used the money to buy competeing banks, give bonuses, buy jets etc.. if this isnt stopped, this will fling us out of a recession and into a depression.

[13mok]

fake money backed by nothing created by a private company...

..its about time u lot used ur gun rights and get rid of these evil people...

...i gonna have to use a crossbow or slingshot over here!

[rumpelstillskin65]

[rumpelstillskin65]

just a bunch of fucking crooks

[FriedDaisy]

Government officials (in most cases) have merely become flunkies for the behemoth corporations who have for the last 100yrs been slowly but surely chipping away at the protections & rights guaranteed to United States citizens by our Constitution so that they can take everything over (including us & anything we own) and rule the world.

Why would our so-called representatives sell us out? For undeserved wealth & some sense of power.

Why do the corporations want to take over? Because they can.

[ddubrul]

end the Fraternal Empire of Debt!

[ccantwell6]

Join the Campaign for Liberty and join the more than 100K strong. Truth is treason in the empire of lies!

[ccantwell6]

It's apathetic to think that we allow ourselves to live in an environment that is shaped and molded by individuals in our government that only serve to benefit their own personal financial gain at the time, labor & expense of the American Taxpaying individual.

[ccantwell6]

INDEPENDENCE ISN"T FINANCED!!!!

[usmcvet66]

Get a copy of The Creature From Jeckyll Island by G. Edward Griffin if you want your eyes opened.

[13mok]

by the time people have read this book, they'll probably be another $100 billion short and have to sell their mothers for bread!

[usmcvet66]

The American people have been being screwed since Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

CLOSE THE FED and restore Constitutional money. Where did we hear this before???

Oh yeah, that statesman RON PAUL.  Wake up America. It is late.

[usmcvet66]

The courts have stated:

The regional Federal Reserve banks are not government agencies. ...but are independent, privately owned and locally controlled corporations." -- Lewis vs. United States, 680 F. 2d 1239 9th Circuit 1982

[usmcvet66]

Jefferson said:

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation then by deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

[Jozsus]

where the fuck is the collateral?

[Jozsus]

[KevinPatrickdotInfo]

"Some in Congress are mad" ? Some of us right here are mad. Very mad.

End the Fed.

[ruthkendall]

END THE FED!  People should wake up to what is happening. Take a stand! DO something!

[LivingWithUncleRay]

Arrest the criminals!!!!!

[GAPeachWoman]

And they are buying physical gold and silver (real money) with the bailout paper money to keep the price down so we won't discover that our paper fiat money is worthless. Think the real estate bubble was bad? Wait for the dollar bubble.

[manoman0]

hank paulson is paying off his buddies in the banks, that's where the money is going. and you're supposed to work your asses off and shut up!!!
