These questions should have been asked months ago before any of these "bailouts" happened.


There was no time to answer questions, the bill needed to be passed NOW. This was the problem that many were screaming about. Reps were told if this crap didnt go through there would be marshal law and the economy would crumble and we would be back in the stone ages. The bankers knew the longer it took the more questions would be asked. Those questions are now coming but at this point its to late. We wont get to see our prosecutions.

Why should the taxpayer take the risk of this loss? Why not shove it where it belongs - on the bondholders of Citibank?

Because they would rather stick it to American citizens than to people like the Prince of Saudi Arabia.

Quote:
If Congressman Grayson's letter, along with Congressman Issa's inquiry into the Bank of America/Merrill merger is the start of real investigation and reform, it will mark the first real "green shoot" I've seen thus far in this mess.


This will be just another dog and pony show to satisfy the ****ed off masses. The congress will torture them in this "hearing" but just like all the other ones the torture will come with a wink and a nod. It really saddens me to say it but it is the truth. I'll still watch the hearing on TV so I can see the bitch slapping though....

Why is there any stockholder equity in C?

"These are interesting times. We don't trust the government, we don't trust the legal system, we don't trust the media, and we don't trust each other! We've undermined all authority, and with it, the basis for replacing it! It's like a six-year-old's dream come true!"

A better question is, why does C still exist and why is current management still in place ?
