(25,042 posts)tripping over themselves, wanting to get that TARP money, 800 plus billion, making millions in a pay check.
Getting taxpayer money from the federal treasury window at .01% loan rate, and over 80 billion a quarter in tranches for over 7 years, and still getting there pay checks.
Charging the consumers with loan rates at 16% to 27% interest, while they crashed the housing markets, and forced people into foreclosures, and not thinking at once, not one iota, that to lend our money back out at 2 or 3%, instead of 12%-27% interest rates, because they were getting our treasury money at .01%------------nope-----------------, not once,-------------------- to say THANKYOU------------ and still getting a pay check.
Rigging the LIBOR system, and still getting a pay check.
And promising that they would HELP those with there homes and loans and still turning there backs on the citizens, and creating more homelessness and hunger, while still getting a pay check.
And a Congress and a presidency and a United States Attorney General that did not once bring these people in and charge them with the poinzi scheme and the criminal acts they committed, they had show and tells in Congressional committees, thats it, to have those feel good pictures, like they cared, they didn't, because these same people were getting money to run for office, to stay in power, to do nothing, but to continue the status quo, and they still got a paycheck.
Just like week, JP Morgan Chase again, remind you, again, paid out 5 billion in there complicit criminal housing mortgage act behavior and still no one went to jail, there stock went up when the market was going down, but they still got a pay check.
Then to top it all off, to further the cycle of hypocrisy, they where at the table this entire time they went in and made "DEALS" for "TRADE DEALS" to cause further erosion in pay for the citizens of this country, trading away the soverienty of the laws and wages, to partners in TPP, CAFTA, NAFTA, and still making a paycheck.
While at the same time as they were sitting in on these "TRADE DEAL" while millions of families and single workers are making pennies per hour when compared to the criminals making millions they are being paid, they support the attacking of the citizens of this country to just to make a profit, and blaming the citizens of the country as being the problem, while still making a paycheck------------------------enough is enough
Honk-----------------------for a political revolution
Democracy-------------------- begins with you tag your it----------------Bernie Sanders to Thom Hartmann and to the citizens of this country
It is about getting a Progressive President, U.S. Supreme Court, Congress, and State and Local Legislatures
