Judicial Watch Forces Release of Bank Bailout Documents “These documents show our government exercising unrestrained power over the private sector. Despite promises of transparency, the Obama administration tried to cover up the very existence of these smoking-gun documents. And the cover-up continues, as the Obama administration protects Timothy Geithner by withholding a key document about his role in this infamous bankers meeting,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

I was trying to think of a witty title for this article, but I kept coming back to this one because it’s absolutely true. I was inspired to write this because I recently hooked up with an old friend who is out of work and looking for a new job. His neighborhood bank was looking for a part-time teller, so he went in to inquire. When he found out the bank does a credit check on new employees, he respectfully begged off. He knew that he would not pass that kind of inspection right now. The... Read Full Story

An interesting photo From badbilladams9 I personally think the bailout is a scam. Paulson, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, after the elections, goes back to work in the industry he is now bailing out. He personally knows near to nothing about the lives of the majority of Americans. From WiKi the easy facts.

However, watching Treasury Secretary Paulson this week made me think that at least he is willing to step up and do the job he is paid for. Who knows whether this incredible, monstrous, and unfathomable bailout will work? But I sure think something had to be done, and despite my previous post, will support what these experts propose. Don't get me wrong, I am... Read Full Story

Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson hit the Sunday morning talk show circuit to sell the administration's massive financial bailout plan.  His basic message:  If Congress doesn't authorize the government to purchase upwards of $500 billion in toxic loans from financial institutions that are teetering on collapse, it could plunge the world economy into a sustained depression. It was sobering and frank language from hammerin Hank, and was meant to put the Congress on notice:  don't screw... Read Full Story
