Luxury Jets, Oceanfront Homes Reveal A Very Different Attitude By Citigroup, Ex-Lehman Brothers Head

[stinginrich]

The government needs to recall these loans to citigroup Immediately and take immediate control of it and fire every last exec in there. The new Jet needs to be confiscated and sold to reimburse the taxpayer.

Can''t do that......money has already been paid to Crooked Politicians by Crooked Bankers through Crooked lobbyists......Until they''re ALL removed and Lobbyists Outlawed under Penalty of Death, NOTHING will change.....

These jets are not made in France ......Dassault Falcon Jets are made in Little Rock, Arkansas. If the order is canceled ........will it not affect our local economy? ........How long ago was this order placed?

The lesson of all this seems pretty clear to me:

If you Rob, Steal, and Slime your way through life, you''ll benefit Financially beyond your Wildest Dreams.
If you WORK hard, pay your taxes, do what you''re supposed to do as an Honest Member of Society, you''ll find yourself waking up with your Panties around your ankles and a Raw Assh*le.......

Here''s another boondoggle going on right now:

Why are the House and Senate delegations from Texas quiety and quickly trying to pressure the Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to give anti-trust immunity to Continental Airlines?

Why isn''t CBS covering it?

Mad as He11???.....Don''t play their game. They rely on YOU to take out loans from them to buy stuff you don''t need, at an interest rate that benefits them handsomely. Stop borrowing from them. Withdraw your money everytime it gets over $20. Bux, and keep it at home in a Safe. They''ll dry up and blow away in the Wind. After a little while, they''ll get the message that Buttfu*king the Citizenry is not a Formula for Success.......

These corporate executives who now spend our tax dollars like a drunken sailor in a wh*rehouse should have every last asset of theirs and their families seized and face jail time. Their arrogance, their contempt for the American people knows no bounds...Either that or bring back the guillotine...

While I have to agree with this, I must go on to say our elected officials made this happen. All politicians were told in various reports and studies, this would happen. We taxpayers need to take back control of this country. You will notice I did not say our country. All the money owed makes this country an asset for China and the likes. give me my share of all these bailouts (LOL) and I will spend it thereby putting people that make the products I buy by to work or keep them working. But this might actually give the taxpayers some empowerment. Can''t have this happening with the commoners. What''s happening with our money now is nearly criminal in nature. And the politician wh*res are just as guilty.

Not another dime to these banks and finance schemes. Let THEM go, any one who makes over $200,000 a year put them in a 50 percent tax bracket. Any one over $500,000 a year, make it 75 percent tax. We are going down people, start taking off the top first.

[tejasdemo]

Lol.

We''ll be living with this type of "they don''t get it" story over and over again for as long as money is handed out from the government to the corporate losers.

Take these "clueless" executives out of the equation by allowing failed companies to fail. Luxury jets are available for purchase by executives of profitable companies. The executives of profitable companies can order as many corporate jets as their stockholders allow them to (as this is a matter between corporate executives and their stockholders).

This country was built on winners not losers. Make a profit or get out of the way.

Use Federal emergency funds to complete infrastructure projects (as government infrastructure supports winning companies and their employees) and to help individual citizens to bear the dislocations and financial impacts of the corporate failures.

For all of Dubyah''s good''ol boys, Christmas came early with Santa Sam throwing hundreds of billions of dollars into the black hole coffers of the same banks his daddy bailed out just before he left the presidency.

It''s still not too late to change the rules and force these banks to disclose how these bailout funds were used or how they will be used. If a bank got $1 dollar in bailout money, that bank should be forced to tell the public how it used $1 dollar to fix its self.

Turn the beach house into a timeshare, and let the taxpayers (now shareholders) enter a drawing or lottery for a chance to spend their vacations at the property!!

[heavenhell-2009]

is FEd even looking where bailout money is going

[straightmate]

Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks, he said "That''s where the money is". I get the feeling the current executives think the same way.
