This is what I heard recently about the Tarp money.

"In three minutes following the failure to pass TARP1 Congress lost forever $1.5 trillion dollars in American assets when they voted but did not pass TARP 1."

How did congress lose 1.5T American assets by not passing TARP 1?

Answer?

Its a fear tactic to get the public to pass the bill and justify the robbery. The money was lost well before that.

How can Tarp money prevent people from losing their assets?

Basically I believe what happened was that the banks were SUPPOSEDLY lending out over their heads. So the major corporations who were pretty much operating on debt(as a result of over expanding and over extending their financial limits), needed more debt to keep operating.

Its the corporations that would have lost the assets. Not the people. Since they wouldn't have been able to afford to maintain their expansions.

Along comes the tarp money. Keeps them afloat and still in business. all thanks to tax payers money....

THIS is what I believe happened.

The thing that bothers me is this. No one ever audits banks, so how would anyone know if the banks are in over their heads? This sounds like a scam to rob the poor guy from their investments and use it to compensate the losses of the rich.All this talk is just to confuse the public and justify the robbery.

Tell me, how do you justify rewarding CO's with millions of dollars in bonuses for driving your company to the ground? They are being rewarded to keep silent.
 
Of course the TARP money was a scam. All bailouts are a scam, but nothings worse than the banks because they run the country... they really do.

Remember for every $1 the banking system gets they can create up to $9 in new money themselves. So if the banks get $500 billion in TARP money, they can turn that into $4.5 trillion and pay back their so-called 'loan' with this newly created money.. its bullshit.

All these laws and fail safes are kept to keep the super wealthy rich. That doesn't sound too capitalist to me. It sounds more communist. Protecting the wealth of the Oligarchs(The elites).

Maybe they were right when they said the Commie's were coming to take over America in the 20's. Maybe they already have and people are unaware.

Look at all the so called evil communist oligarchs. Where did they go invest their money when the USSR collapsed? Mostly the USA.

Even the Nazis were screaming that the communists were already moving west. That they were taking over Germany.

Judging by all the corporate takeovers and mergers. Capitalism no longer exists in North America. We are ruled by a type of monarchy/elite that hides behind the scenes and answers to no-one. Not even the people.


Dont get me wrong. I am pro-Socialist but what I see is more closer to slavery than socialism.

By the way. A perfect example of this was GM. They went on a buying spree buying off all the companies and obtaining the largest share of the global market(with DEBT). They over extended themselves and got into financial trouble. With the recession and the rise of Toyota? They needed to get bailed out or have to downsize.

Now FORD?? That is a company America can be proud of. They made a few key purchases and stayed within their financial means. Thus they did not need to be bailed out at all.

The reason why FORD also agreed to the government bail out of GM was that if GM went down? So would a lot of the part suppliers. And FORD apparently would suffer as a result. This is what I heard anyways.

I have had too many lemons buying American and buy only European/Asian models but if I were ever to buy anything American? I assure you it would be FORD!

Hats off to FORD.

I agree: A tip of the hat to Ford. My next truck will likely be a Ford since I never buy European/Asian model automobiles. Drive a Dodge and a Chevy right now but I like the way Ford came through all of this.
