How do you feel about Occupy Wall Street?

[dalegg 143]

It started like that. Oh woe is me I spent 80K on an education in african archeology and now bank of america won't give me a job! Yeah, whiny little punks.

But it's spreading beyond that whiny group now. Some of the real freaks are going to come out on this one.. the kind of freaks Dems like to keep under wraps and not give any national airtime to. Watch and see. This could potentially turn an entire generation Republican if the Republicans don't fukc this up.

The government made money on TARP. Get your facts straight.

So, if the Government has made money on TARP, this poses a question. TARP bailout money was included in the calculations to total the 2008 and 2009 deficits. Shouldn't TARP repayments since then be included as income to offset existing deficits, or has it, and in fact our actual operation deficits are even worse than what we think?

As for me, I haven't found myself cheering on the NYPD this much in years... maybe ever. I was listening to my local hip hop radio station on the drive in this morning and they were talking about how 'the hood' is starting to show up at the protests and it isn't just white hippies anymore... about how this and that revolutionary party and socialist group and other various wackos are beginning to show up at the protests and it occurs to me that this is just a left version of the Tea Party. Fukc the Tea Party and fukc these Occupy Wall Street fukcheads too.

In the sense that it is not astro-turff renta-mob like the Left has used in the past then yes, it's as real as the TEA PARTY but the similarities end there.

I have never seen a Mac laptop at a tea party.

I have never seen trash all over the ground at a TEA Party.

I have never seen (anywhere) so many people in one place all filming each other at the same time with camera phones.

I don't recall any signs at TEA Party events demanding that the Gov't forgive their Small business loan or their VA backed house loan.

So one is the TEA Party, the other might better be called the FREE Party.

Sure they did. They got a nice low interest loan from the government and oh a couple of trillion dollars in low interest debt from the privately owned Fed. Remind me again, what happens to the value of the US dollar every the FED engages in quantitative easing?

What does QE have to do with TARP?

You are annoying.

"I have either not heard of Occupy Wall Street (until now) or know too little about it to have an opinion." == not having enough info

"I know exactly what Occupy Wall Street is about but don't have an opinion yet" == not caring OR ambivalent/confused

well, i still don't care

[luckytxn 2,264]

well, i still don't care

To be honest I would probably be demonstrating something if I didn't work and was a bum living on the dole.

Where are you getting your "facts"? Looks like the latest info shows that at least 25% of that money is still outstanding.

Quote

Obama on Occupy Wall Street

"It expresses the frustrations that the American people feel that we had the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, huge collateral damage all throughout the country, all across Main Street," the president said. "And yet you're still seeing some of the same folks who acted irresponsibly trying to fight efforts to crack down on abusive practices that got us into this problem in the first place."

He said, though, that the U.S. must have a strong and effective financial sector for the economy to grow, and that the financial regulation bill he championed ensures tougher oversight of the financial industry.

How about a crackdown on those in government that acted irresponsibly which added fuel to the problem...I know, that would'nt serve your agenda.

The portion of the TARP that went to banks has turned a profit.

Of course, some of it was used for other purposes - including GM/Chrysler bailouts.

Now they are all being held hostage by the unions that are forcing them to sign the same kind of contracts that got them in trouble before the bailouts.

Ford is screwed:

• "Taking Xmas bonuses away from retirees don't sound like a good contract to me."

• "You saved our jobs, you saved our retirees, you maintained our current pay and you protected our health benefits ... thanks, UAW."

• "There is nothing more to hold out for. The past is the past, get over it."
