I want the same kind of loan from the Fed that Bear Stearns and JP Morgan are getting...

[Blackhatjack]

A guarantee of up to 30 billion dollars, no conditions imposed, and a smile.

Sheesh.... is there no end to the 'corporate welfare' in this country?

[jlake]

1. Me too! 30 Billion for everyone! .... and even more if you're worse with your finances.

2. perks

And don't think BofA didn't demand a few perks while purchasing Countrywide.

3. Socialism for the wealthy

Capitalism for the masses.

We are seeing the largest transfer of public money for private use in the history of the world.

9. Socialism for the corporation, not the wealthy...

-Hoot

4. Just $100,000.00 each would go a long way toward

making a lot of people solvent once again. That would help the insolvent financial institutions a lot...if ordinary people could pay their bills.

[merh]

6. I like your suggestion.

5. What the Wealthy Want, the Wealthy Will GET.

That's the American motto. They just won't admit it.

But hey, let's blame the "Welfare Queens" and "Lack of Personal Responsibility" rather than corporate greed and gladhanding; it's easier than thinking.

[tridim]

7. And the middle class will pay for it

If you refuse to pay your share of the corporate welfare tax you go to prison.

U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A!

8. Two Words that strike fear on Wall Street .. 'hedge funds' ....

Combine that with the other scary word 'derivatives' and you get a sense of where the massive losses are which have not yet been revealed to the public.

Would you do financial business with an entity which has a negative net value once you figure in the losses carried by hedge funds and impact of derivatives? I don't think so. And that is what the Fed to trying so desperately to hide.

10. Hang a $30b pork chop around your neck

Probably get a lot of wolves sniffing around.
