It appears that the 700 billion dollar bail out that was suppose to save all the banks and finance companies did not work, so they want more of the tax payers money.

PORKZILLA is being unleashed on Washington, and you can be certain that one trillion dollars won't be nearly enough to satisfy this monster's ever-growing hunger.

A measly one trillion will hardly be enough for an appetizer!

what these scumbags need is a good old fashioned tar and feathering




JustDarkness -> RE: They want more money (1/29/2009 12:11:49 PM)

the question will be...what will it cost when you don't do it.




Vendaval -> RE: They want more money (1/29/2009 1:08:05 PM)

No surprise at all...[&:]




Hippiekinkster -> RE: They want more money (1/29/2009 1:41:04 PM)

And Wall Streeters only got a pitiful collective 18 billion in bonuses this year. Waaaah!




rexrgisformidoni -> RE: They want more money (1/29/2009 2:07:33 PM)

I want some more money. 




Aneirin -> RE: They want more money (1/29/2009 2:34:13 PM)

Maybe if the governments do opt to give them more money, the first thing that should be demanded, is public scutiny of their pay checks and other benefits, so we can all see what we are paying for. It would strike me as a cynical insult to tax payers whose money is being given to help them get out of the mess they have put us in, if it is they were still getting outrageous and attractive pay packets.

People are being laid off to save money, it begs the question is the money being saved to enable the management to not take a cut in pay and living standards.

My belief, and the way I would run an enterprise, is the management, the seniors etc, when times are hard, the cuts start with the highest paid, first go the perks, then wages cut to a level everyone else seems to be able to manage on, then the surplus labour cut before masses of people are laid off. That way, an upturn in economy, you have the workforce and the skills, with their contribution everything becomes better from the ground up.

I am of the belief that a dedicated workforce is a companies biggest asset.

this is BEYOND currupt.  it is downright robbery.    they had no way of knowing.  maybe due to not listening to the peon.

I hope that the players get burnt.  not only are they doing this to hardworking folks.  it is also being done to people who did everything they were suppose to do and right., and in that crowd is someones mother.  so they do this to MOM!

let them rot in hell!

T1981 -> RE: They want more money (1/29/2009 2:53:04 PM)

Oh, okay! Thanks for clarifying that! My brain's not on today....




OneMoreWaste -> RE: They want more money (1/29/2009 3:04:15 PM)

Well, of course they do. The last bailout barely paid for their 2008 executive bonuses! [&:]

Ya think?

edited because it was already answered




popeye1250 -> RE: They want more money (1/29/2009 7:58:58 PM)

We shouldn't be bailing out banks and brokerage houses.
Let them go bankrupt.
New ones will start after them.
All this does is to keep the same people in power who fucked things up to begin with.
Fuck 'em!




aravain -> RE: They want more money (1/29/2009 8:27:30 PM)

only problem is that before they go bankrupt they'll call in all the money loaned out (and get clearance from the government to do it, if I understand right).

The only reason why I'd support it (I'm not sure if I do or not, yet) is because without another jolt it could cause millions of people to go bankrupt, in addition to the banks... which could cause a lot of homelessness and other bad things...

I dunno, it's a complicated issue.




Nosathro -> RE: They want more money (1/29/2009 8:50:27 PM)

And here is what the President said about the 18 billion in bonuses
