I have three lengthy, researched and sourced links from a website that is to the left of Hillary. This guy is an Obama voter, as he proudly claimed on his site. Nevertheless, his research is quite good. I have alot of other stuff, as well.

Let’s just say, in case you have this notion that the fox is guarding the henhouse, you are quite right. Don’t forget for a moment that Mr. Geithner was overseeing the region of the Federal Reserve under which most of these shenanigans occurred. This is why Wall Street was initially so thrilled by his nomination. He was expected to protect his pals. And this plan proves that he is trying to make them proud. This is such a rotten deal for the taxpayer that if any entity other than government was proposing it, that individual would leave the room in handcuffs.

Make that, “You five trillion ‘P’ me, G.I.?”

Or,

“My other boyfriend, Bushie, he from Stupidville, USA, too!”

Oh, wait. Der Shrub never got near Tu Do Street, did he, as he was busy protecting Houston from aerial attacks from New Mexican and Oklahoman MiGs…

Some of us will never forget.

i hear a lot of people saying, “don’t be mad about the bonuses, be mad about this….” well, i can be mad at more than one thing at a time, and the people who came up with the scheme mentioned in the OP are exactly the same kind of crooks that ran AIG. of course they’re trying to screw us again.

how long will the market be up?

Maybe when Obama gets his budget passed. Then there will be no further need for “hope” for a while and so much more can be done through “fear”.

George Soros said the current economic crisis has been the culmination of his life’s work

Note the tag line below his photograph. So, the culmination of his life’s work is the demise of the world economy? Western society? Freedom? What can be read between those lines? Millions of hard working peoples lives ruined for the one man’s misplaced “dreams”… is this not the stuff spy novels are made of? Is he not then the greatest anti-hero? Who would want that? Why are we searching caves for terrorists when there are economic terrorists in plain sight?

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fl.), who quizzed Herz on the accounting rule, said that the demand to change the rules is “representative of exactly the kind of thing that’s put us in this position in general…We have people who break every rule in the book and then they think that the answer to their problems is to break more rules. It’s given us some real insight into the human nature and the pathology of the people who have created these problems for America.”

Now, I’m not an accountant (I just play one in my job). but I don’t trust these banks one bit.

The public can comment on the rule change until April 1 by e-mail to director@fasb.org – File reference proposed FSP FAS 157-e.

Sorry, again, Susan but I thought this was important.

Secretary Geithner’s toxic assets plan must be stopped unless it receives the thorough scrutiny of Congress and LEGISLATION expressing the people’s will to permit up to $1 trillion spent on this plan that expressly benefits the same investors who caused our crisis in the first place. I have read Jeffrey Sachs, Paul Krugman, Noriel Roubini and more on this TOXIC ASSETS plan that is TOXIC for taxpayers who are not being given THEIR right to say “Aye” or “Nay” about this plan. STAND UP for us, and force Sec. Geithner to go through the legislative process, both in hearings and through legislation. Thank you!
