The bail-out tracker!
Hat tip to Scissorhead LiberalDemDave, he discovered a handy way to find out how much the freakin’ bloodsuckers are getting out of us.
What’s really interesting is that this program also tells you the company’s market value and the percentage of the funds it received in proportion to the market value.
So, for instance, the market value of AIG is $942 million, and the bailout that they have received is 4246% of their market value. And if that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know…
Oh Christ! And the wingnuts say we want class warfare? We’ve been raped! Now comes the pillage and plunder.
Kill me now!
even worse than i thought
I don’t think a pitchfork and a torch are going to properly allow me to express my extreme disappointment, I may require ordnance.
i had to lie down with a gin-IV and valium lick to get over what i saw.
Please, it’s disgusting. I was over at HelenWheels blog, she had a link to a Rolling Stone Article about AIG and just what a clusterfuck Wall Street has made of us, the government and the global economy. Very interesting.
Katie – Yeah, Taibbi’s article is great. But you gotta also read the Krugman piece, too. There is a link below. It explains how the latest Geithner wet dream won’t work.

Ding! Ding! Ding! LiberalDemDave takes the round for Valium lick. I suppose that Pickles has a warehouse of these things. Texans know how to medicate!

Captain Bat – You might be surprised what the right pitchfork and torch can accomplish. But I’m only guessing…

Interesting that Frank Rich quotes one Paulette from Cupertino, CA decrying the current economic mess “Obama’s Katrina.” Ms. Paulette is a staunch repig – how appropriate http://www.campaignmoney.com/political/contributions/paulette-altmaier.asp?cycle=00
Not a pretty picture…
