THE FEDERAL GOVT.
They are the crooks.
I know that if I went to the feds and they offered to give me BILLIONS of dollars, I would damn sure take it AND give myself a giant pay raise. Wouldn't you?
If the Congress and Senate weren't such THIEVES and CROOKS...it wouldn't matter if a big corporation tried to buy them off. Instead of pocketing the money they would have those business leaders thrown in jail for trying to buy influence. Problem solved.
But they don't.
Remember...people can claim that business owns govt and post funny cartoons about it all day long. But in the end, you can't own what CAN'T BE BOUGHT. And our career politicians are all for sale.
VOTE THEM ALL OUT AND STOP WHINING. This whole charade is nothing more than those same crooks in office trying to deflect the fact that THEY should all be in jail for basically spending their entire lives fucking over the American people. Both "Democrats" and "Republicans" (since most of you believe that fairy tale that there is a real difference)

The Government had no alternative. Don't bail the banks out and the Western World loses one of it's biggest earners and goes bust. Do bail them out and we hang on for a bit longer.
The crunch will come when China decides to have the banking industry, they will shoot the fuckers who lose money.
Take a look at Greece. They enjoyed a lot of benefits from the loans they should never of asked for and never been given. Now they're told to slow down on the spending and there are riots.
US debt is exactly the same on a smaller scale. The US, you're still in the US Robbie and earning money from US citizens, borrowed trillions to fund your style of living. Now it's payback time. Except the US shipped so many jobs overseas, so you could buy cheap goods made in a sweat factory, it hasn't got much money to spend. So borrowing some more.
The Republicans will cut Government spending, just like all the recent Republican Presidents.
They won't cut spending where they need votes. I'll bet money on that. Just going on previous administrations.
