False Pretences: The Sequel

First the "weapons of mass destruction", starting a war under false pretences... NOW using 700 billion of taxpayer's money under false pretences!

The $700 billion was given to Bush to supposedly to stop the stock market from crashing, to get loans flowing again, and to buy up bad debt.

0 for 3

The stock market crashed anyway. The loans aren't flowing. And the bad debt didn't get bought up.

Instead, the money is being given away in the night to big banks, a point that WAS NOT EVEN DISCUSSED DURING THE DEBATE OR IN THE MEDIA. It's being given away on laughable terms, not even close to what the free market would pay, and the banks are using it to buy up smaller banks, and also giving their executives obscene bonuses, and paying their shareholders (who should have been wiped out and weren't) their juicy dividends.

The American people got robbed. Or are getting robbed (present tense). Like never before. To the tune of $700,000,000,000 cash.
