Members Emprov Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 I haven't read too deeply about the bailout but Bernanke swears up and down that it's desperately needed. And, we have Dodd's assurances that all the "T"'s are crossed and the "i"'s dotted. It's pretty much a done deal at this point. Yay U.S.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Annoying Twit Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 Very simply, if the banks need to be bailed out, then the government should get something back. Mostly, it should get control over the institutions, and if they fail to pay back the money, or have sold their "toxic debt" at too high a price, then the government should receive equity in the banks. But this isn't what is happening at all. Paulson is "one of them [bankers]", and he's structuring the deal so that the bankers get everything their own way, and the American taxpayer gets screwed royally. Basically it can be described as Paulson saying "if you put any strings on the deal, the banks won't take your money off you". Seriously. Normally if one person or institution goes to another cap in hand, it's not the beggar who is the chooser. Oh, and I'm not a USAian. But our turn will come in other countries. Around the world the average joe in the street is going to be royally screwed so that the banking class can keep their Ferraris and hundreds of millions in bonuses.

Members Bonoman Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 FWIW, you're an American too. I came in here to say this. As for the bail-out, I actually agree with BOALG in that it's total bull{censored}, but unfortunately it's also necessary at this point to keep your (America's, not BOALG's) economy from completely collapsing in on itself. Once again the rich get richer while the poor suffer for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bonoman Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 Just out of curiosity, who is it that is getting richer because of this? The CEOs of the companies who are going to be receiving these bail-outs. What, you think all this money is going to go back to the people? Yeah, right... Call me cynical, but I firmly believe somebody's getting a new yacht out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
