Thee RANT

Thats enough info to share.

Is that statement a precedent now for all of us ...or just you ?
Tasteless ?
On Thee Rant....you're sh1tting me .....right ?
The whole Board at times is tasteless.
Can you post the proof that my statement on the 16 Trillion or those of others are false ?
Because ...unlike you...if I'm reading and believing something that's false, I'd like to know about that, so I can learn.
I can handle different opinions than my own....you seem to have a difficult time doing that.
Here's a link to the story about the 16 Trillion loaned to banks by The Federal Reserve....

Have You Heard About The 16 Trillion Dollar Bailout The Federal Reserve Handed To The Too Big To Fail Banks?

THe headline from the wacky website is a says it was handed to them, implying a gift. But then it says it was interest free! That would be a LOAN wouldnt it? Back to school for you along with midnight.
As you will see documented below, the Federal Reserve actually handed more than
16 trillion dollars in nearly interest-free money to the "too big to fail" banks
between 2007 and 2010.
These sites intice with titilating headlines. They quote a Bloomberg article. DId you read that article? THe facts of this case are shocking enough without embellishiment. People haved a right to be outraged. BUt they should not be misled.
Wall Street Aristocracy Got $1.2 Trillion in Secret Loans
Citigroup Inc. (C) and Bank of America Corp. (BAC) were the reigning champions of finance in 2006 as home prices peaked, leading the 10 biggest U.S. banks and brokerage firms to their best year ever with $104 billion of profits.
By 2008, the housing market’s collapse forced those companies to take more than six times as much, $669 billion, in emergency loans from the U.S. Federal Reserve. The loans dwarfed the $160 billion in public bailouts the top 10 got from the U.S. Treasury, yet until now the full amounts have remained secret.
Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke’s unprecedented effort to keep the economy from plunging into depression included lending banks and other companies as much as $1.2 trillion of public money, about the same amount U.S. homeowners currently owe on 6.5 million delinquent and foreclosed mortgages. The largest borrower, Morgan Stanley (MS), got as much as $107.3 billion, while Citigroup took $99.5 billion and Bank of America $91.4 billion, according to a Bloomberg News compilation of data obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests, months of litigation and an act of Congress.
“These are all whopping numbers,” said Robert Litan, a former Justice Department official who in the 1990s served on a commission probing the causes of the savings and loan crisis.“You’re talking about the aristocracy of American finance going down the tubes without the federal money.”

Uh oh, couple of more slave masters on the horizon.
Hey FOrrest, Midnight, Patrolman one of them is JEWISH!

Yeh well as long as there is Facebook, & Internet & sports & women to chase & porn & alcohol & drugs--all of which keeps us in a permanent state of unreality then the government & corporations can do whatever they feel like doing. We fiddle while Rome is burning.

A guy told me "I'm too busy chasing tail"

Maybe he's better off than getting into this muckety muck.

Very true, Overthe6wire.
We've had family over since Sat.
They don't want to know about it and don't care.
Even had one family member say...maybe I'll be dead before all this financial chaos happens.
All my sister can say is....wanna go to the mall ?
Maybe it is better to be dumbed down....less stress...for the time being anyway.
Maybe The Fed is our friend...and we should embrace the poverty and debt....lol

Maybe they were just trying to be polite and not really take you on. It would sort of ruin the holiday to tell you are a bit paranoid.
BTW, did you have enough food for the holidays, or did you have to riot to get it?

Lawman.....
I was gonna come by your house for food, but the used refrigerator box was closed, so I figured you were sleeping.
Btw, Hope you slept off your hangover and got the vomit off.
You're Internet Tough Guy routine is played out by now.
