More $$$ For More Banks
EmailJust in from our Business Unit:
Nearly three weeks after the first official announcement of the 9 banks that received $125 billion in exchange for stock purchases through the $700 billion "TARP," the Treasury Department this afternoon has announced that 21 more banks -– mostly large regional institutions — have received more than $33.6 billion.
To name a few:
SunTrust received $3.5 billion;
BB&T — $3.1 billion;
U.S. Bancorp — $6.6 billion.
Officially, that means the government has now released $159 billion to the nation’s banks.

Screw the banks, they take the cream off the top give nothing back to the people….Loan to the autos they pay it back with interest.This deal is NOT a bail out it is a loan…Love how they make it sound so bad…..

I’ve always been a Rep. I agree with Rep. morality as stated, not necessarily as acted upon. I couldn’t get any one to tell me why not bail out the people. Not the cursed greedy, back stabbing banks, LIKE BANK OF AMERICA (America my ass), their one of the most greediest scumbags orgs. of the world. Then, I was actually told if we give the money to the people we would be communist. What the hell is that all about?

It is all just another lie to and a manipulation of the American people. They will not lend money they will hoard it and give themselves nice cushy salaries and lives while the rest of get to keep paying for it while we get kicked to the curb. Where does it end?
