Bailouts and how much they have paid back.

List of Banks, Corps, and others who received taxpayer bailout money by Obama and how much they have paid back. Makes you want to puke. Fucking GM used our money to create jobs in China, not the U.S.

BUT the bailout "worked"!!!!!!!!!!

That's all I ever hear, that it miraculously worked, when all evidence points to the opposite

And didn't GM just invest $600 million in an English soccer team??

On the good news side of the equation almost everyone has paid at least some back except those two at the top who between the two of them took more then everyone else combined. I wonder who run those companies? Oh yeah, has-been political hacks run the boards of directors of both those companies while back loading the expense on productive citizens.

The whole concept of the government stepping in and playing favorites with private enterprise or worse yet creating its 'own' private enterprises at tax payer expense is just unconscionable.

X2. Government bailouts should not happen, ever.

I could swear I saw somewhere

that our government can't participate in private enterprise. Why do we let em? Cause it's called a bailout and not a takeover?

Just keep in mind Pro Publica is a left-wing Soros network funded entity. Not saying the numbers aren't right, just saying keep it in mind.

My step-son, the UAW electrician -- who made $125,000 last year working at a GM plant, lives in a 3700 sq ft home on 4 acres with a barn for his motor-toys bigger than my house, and got an $8,000 bonus this year -- thinks that bailout was a damn good thing.

Cause it's those damn rich people who are keeping the middle class down, ya know.
