Bailouts: A Scam on their Own

The Bush/Obama bailouts require serious investigation.  Were these bailouts necessary, or were they a scam, like “weapons of mass destruction,” used to advance a private agenda behind a wall of fear?  Recently I heard Harvard Law professor Elizabeth Warren, a member of a congressional bailout oversight panel, say on NPR that the US has far too many banks.  Out of the financial crisis, she said, should come consolidation with the financial sector consisting of a few mega-banks.  Was the whole point of the bailout to supply taxpayer money for a program of financial concentration?  FULL ARTICLE

This thing is not going to go away very easily.  Sooner or later there is going to have to be a reckoning.  It ain’t gonna be pretty.

Maybe that’s why Cheney had KRB build those prisons that staunch Bush supporters say didn’t exist.  They’re still there sitting empty waiting for a need.
