Comment billions of dollars of taxpayer's money (Score 0) 250
please stop saying that goldman, morgan stanley, boa, jpm chase, etc, somehow have 'their own money'.
without TARP, none of those companies would exist. they all took money either directly, or one-degree of separation, from the government to keep themselves alive, and living in nice walled communities, and going to nice restaurants for lunch, and having their nice careers and their nice cars and their nice little lives,
while millions of other people are moving back with their parents, learning to love ramen, giving up on college, losing their savings, moving to low-rent ghetto apartments full of drug dealers and criminals, etc etc etc.
