November 14th, 2008. Interim Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Stability --Neel Kashkari went to Capitol Hill to explain changes to the $700 billion Federal Intervention Plan (Bailout funds), which no longer included buying troubled assets.

This time Kashkari, accused of playing Bait and Switch, contradicts himself quite silly:

"I don't think it's a good use of taxpayer money to put taxpayer capital into a financial institution that is going to fail"

Thus, self-deprecating every financial bailout carried by the Treasury Department in the last months, including the very effort Kashkari is actually working on.

Government (Treasury Department) has stepped in -TWICE- to save American International Group Inc. (AIG) from failing. In September, 2008, the U.S. government seized control of AIG in an $85 billion bailout. This November, government has rescued AIG again, agreeing a $150 billion financial bailout for the insurer.
