thank you mr. paulson
thank you mr. paulson.
thanks for using money that was meant to be spent on things like the installation of systems that would prevent disasters like what happened in los angeles recently, to bail out corporations who willingly participated in the fucking of our economy. they will never have to suffer consequences for their irresponsibility. nothing to see here. thanks for giving aig the money to pay it's 3 month old ceo his $7 million exit package, while i have to fear for my life without proper bike lanes and fear for my bike being stolen because there are no bike racks anywhere, all because of a lack of available tax revenue. thanks for bailing their asses out, while california can't even pay it's bills, mta service gets worse every day, and our nation's infrastructure is stuck in the 1950s.
what happens when aig never pays this "loan" back? just what are you going to do then? play hardball? at that point, does it become congress', or the new president's problem? what could possibly be done?
is it actually in your authority to be handing over billions of tax dollars to corporations? where the fuck is congress in all of this? $85 billion is a significant amount of money. this brings the bailout bill to around $300 billion.
oh, and thank you too, george bush. going out with a bang, i see.
true love always,
americans
