Risk only nickels and get returns in the billions.<BR/><BR/><B>Statement of SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger on Secretary Geithner's latest TALF proposal</B><BR/><BR/>Washington, DC --<I>Treasury Secretary Geithner's plan to invite private equity and hedge fund investors to a fire sale of bank assets is a return to the very same policies and practices that triggered the financial crisis in the first place.<BR/><BR/>Secretary Geithner's proposal for the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF)<B> would enable private equity firms and hedge funds to buy up higher quality loan securitizations, including auto, consumer, student and small business loans.</B> The Federal government would provide low-cost financing for up to 95% of the purchase price, with private firms putting down as little as 5% and the securitizations as collateral. The hope is then to expand this proposal to include toxic mortgage-backed securities.<BR/><BR/>Each of these programs could cost taxpayers up to $1 trillion. If the private firms make a profit from the deal, they keep all of it. If they end up losing money, they are only on the hook for the nickel or two of equity they put in. The taxpayers would then assume the rest of the losses. Even worse, subsidizing the purchase up to 19-to-1 will drive up the price of the assets, which would be yet another gift to the same banks that caused this crisis while at the same time putting taxpayers at a much greater risk of bearing huge losses.</I><BR/><BR/>http://www.seiu.org/2009/03/fire-sale-of-bank-assets-would-hurt-taxpayers-its-time-for-an-economy-that-works-for-everyone.php<BR/><BR/><B>Freeze, motherfucker and hand over last month's car payment or we'll light you up like a Christmas Tree!!!"</B>Greg Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08110469235589724960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-481838326205496616.post-1370165777460100482009-03-16T14:49:00.000-04:002009-03-16T14:49:00.000-04:00If you go to this link below, there's a chart of A...If you go to this link below, there's a chart of AIG's "performance" over the last year. It looks like AIG was raided Big Time on that other 9/11, the 9/11 of September 11, 2008 when certain parties pulled over 500 BILLION dollars out of the American banking system and were trying to loot more when the Treasury Dept called off the feeding frenzy.<BR/><BR/>AIG is rumored to be a CIA front and has more than a few links to that Zionist/Neocon Demolition Derby held on the first 9/11.

"How do they justify this outrage to the taxpayers who are keeping the company afloat?" <BR/>The president added he's asked Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to use the leverage the government has, from the multistage bailout of the giant insurer, "to pursue every legal avenue to block these bonuses and make the American taxpayers whole." <BR/>"This isn't just a matter of dollars and cents.

Perhaps because the banking execs who are getting the bailout money are not unionized. If they were, the goverment could strong-arm the union, much like they are doing at GM and then they could really squeeze that lemon, baby.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of contracts, what about that Contract With America? Remember that beauty? The contract that had much fanfare back in '94 when Newt Gingrich, Dick Armey, John Boehner (not the erectile pronunciation) and friends used the Heritage Foundaation as their roosting post to concoct this gem for us. Let's see here, if I can recall what was that all about:<BR/><BR/>Fiscal Responsibilty Act - American Dream Restoration Act - Personal Responsibilty Act - Common Sense Act - Wage Enhancement Act - <BR/><BR/>Plus, the reforms of government operations:<BR/><BR/>require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply to Congress; <BR/>select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse; <BR/>cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third; <BR/>limit the terms of all committee chairs; <BR/>ban the casting of proxy votes in committee; <BR/>require committee meetings to be open to the public; <BR/>require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase; <BR/>and implement a zero base-line budgeting process for the annual Federal Budget<BR/><BR/>Looks like the Contract With America was broken long, long ago. So why can't the AIG contract be broken, too?<BR/><BR/>I'm so mad, I could just spit and I think I will!Sishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424481532985961991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-481838326205496616.post-64339724886135487422009-03-16T12:17:00.000-04:002009-03-16T12:17:00.000-04:00"I think the economic logic behind dumping a load ...<B>"I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that . . .
