>>They are the ones responsible for safeguarding taxpayer money. If there should have been strings attached then it’s THEIR fault there were not.
I agree. The government was a complicit partner in this crime against the tax payers. The banks were also to blame for screaming about economic cataclysm if they were not bailed out and black mailing the public into handing money over to them.
That is why I am supporting Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck’s 9/12 movement. It is the only anti-govt movement out there and my irrational anger needs an outlet.
stevie….I think your anger is misdirected. If the governmemt uses the taxpayers money and gives it to these banks you should be going after the govenrmentt and your congressman for doing so.
They are the ones responsible for safeguarding taxpayer money. If there should have been strings attached then it’s THEIR fault there were not.
>>should i cry bc i can’t afford to live in a single family th on the upper west side?
It is not fair for everyone else to profit by stealing from tax payers.

“Once again, only wall street fuckers are able to afford the biggest and most expensive houses”
Exactly who SHOULD be able to afford the “the biggest and most expensive houses?”
“The giant drug bust in Clinton Hill will probably have a positive effect on quality of life in the area.”
This is true, though there are already lots of positive things about Clinton Hill. You are invested in crapping on it for some reason.
“I have a friend who is an IT person at Goldman Sachs. He expects a bonus of around $600,000.”
To add insult to injury, the only reason Goldman Sachs is still around is because Hank Paulson the former Treasury secretary bailed out AIG and made GS whole on all the trades they did with AIG, USING TAX PAYERS’ MONEY!!
Now, these same wall street fuckers are able to buy nice houses in desirable neighborhoods while working stiffs like me and Miss Muffett are getting priced out of a home to raise our kids.
“I have a friend who is an IT person at Goldman Sachs. He expects a bonus of around $600,000.”
Mostly dollar-denominated stock restricted for five or so years, about the timeframe for the dollar collapse. Do show up for work and buy gold.
***Bid half off peak comps***
The giant drug bust in Clinton Hill will probably have a positive effect on quality of life in the area.
I have a friend who is an IT person at Goldman Sachs. He expects a bonus of around $600,000. And he is just a nobody computer geek. Why do the rest of us even bother showing up for work?
