Wall Street Crony
No Wall Street Bailout
"This is scare tactics to try to do something that’s in the private but not the public interest. It's terrible." -- Allan Meltzer, Carnegie Mellon School of Business
"It's a straight subsidy to financial institutions. You're essentially giving them money. -- Martin Baily, former Clinton Administration Council of Economic Advisers
"There's a tendency for people to think these are stocks and bonds and you know what the price is. The problem is people are operating in a world in which nobody knows what the hell is going on. There’s some naïve assumptions about how this would function." -- Bruce Bartlett, former Reagan Administration economist
"This administration is asking for a $700 billion blank check to be put in the hands of Henry Paulson, a guy who totally missed this, and has been wrong about almost everything." -- Dean Baker Center for Economic and Policy Research
"If Wall Street gets away with this, it will represent an historic swindle of the American public -- all sugar for the villains, lasting pain and damage for the victims." --William Greider, The Nation
"I am concerned that Treasury's proposal is neither workable nor comprehensive, despite its enormous price tag. In my judgment, it would be foolish to waste massive sums of taxpayer funds testing an idea that has been hastily crafted." -- Richard Shelby (R-Ala.)
"It sounds like Paulson is asking to be a financial dictator, for a limited period of time." --Historian John Steele Gordon
"The plan is stupid...Voters will break against anyone who votes for it. I thought if [Russian Prime Minister Vladimir] Putin had written that, I’d understand it." -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich
"This massive bailout is not a solution. It is financial socialism and it's un-American."-- Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky

William R.Loudon, TN I am more than a little pissed off at the government over this now 12 trillion dollar bailout. Do you think the banks would bail me out of my mortgage or my car payment because I made some bad investments??? This is getting ridiculous people, enough is enough. Make your voice heard.........View More
Robert R.Dayton, OH This is ridiculous. I invested nothing in the stock market or the housing market and didn't realize any great profit when things were going up up up, so why do I now have to pay and bail out those who risked money on those things and lost? It's ridiculous!

Lynn B.Little Rock, AR Maybe the US needs to legalize Mariquana, Rather than fund the Mexican Drug Cartel. Tax & regulate it like alcohol, thus helping our economy instead of Mexico's. People are going to smoke it regardless & I would rather my kids smoke it than drink alcohol.
