Did we (USA) get paid taxes off Kuwait's 37% profit on shares it sold?

Why should they get both the bailout and also the tax credit. Maybe its time to do business like it should be done, those that defraud their investors/depositors lose! No one ever said CITI could use the investors money to gamble. This is what they did and now we the taxpayer are supposed to say okay to keep the share price up.
The Government should not worry about selling its shares and let prices fall as they will. They should demand resignation/enforcement for all the crooked management in place.]]> Sat, 19 Dec 2009 08:34:11 -0500

I think it is still time to let CITI fail to show that bankers who gamble with depositors money and taxpayers money will have to be responsible at some point.
Of course this will never hap[pen because of the various conflicts of interest between current and resent government officials.

It is time for the Congress to act like our representatives( and not puppets of the financial lobby) and get the situation under control.]]> Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:04:02 -0500

He only wants to push deals and money out the door to look good to the President , not necessarily do the right thing.

It is very easy to predict future source of supply for an election year.

Maybe all the people/farmers who went bankrupt on new ethanol plants will be funded by our bailed out banks.

Please lets get real - concept is nice but reality is non existent.]]> Fri, 10 Apr 2009 10:19:35 -0400

All the caustic debt transferred to the AGB.
If individual debt was transferred and was over 12 months old following scheme could apply:
Pay debt within 12 months -discount 90%.
24 "" "" 85% , an so on.

This would give individuals a chance to get out of debt and not declare bankruptcy. Only notation on credit report would be debt settled per AGB rules.

The incentive would be for people to cover outstanding debt within first year or so.

Additional rule would be anyone using this procedure would agree in writing as part of debt settlement not to apply for new credit cards for 18 months after settlement date.

So far all the Government has done is bail out Paulson's friends and former business's related to his past positions. His management gura for TARP is unskilled and not capable of doing his job.

The American people deserve a solution that will allow them some breathing room and a change for the future.]]> Sat, 17 Jan 2009 20:54:22 -0500 The rules could be set up as follows:

Crude oil in range of $80 makes tar sands and alternative energy sources possible.

Demand is now down but the battle for long term reasonably priced fossil energy sources will continue.
Lower prices mean the public companies will pull back and the nationally owned companies (China, India, Russia) will continue pursuing energy for the future and public companies will take second place. ]]> Sat, 25 Oct 2008 09:47:12 -0400

Now believe or not if the Iraqi Government wants to do some large contracts to help its people once they are signed and the Iraqi Government funds them the U.S. Government blocks the funds until they decide its okay.

The cost to develop long term increased production is the cost of one or two months of the war. Providing not dividends in the sense of cas hh but in electricity, housing , food and energy will stop the conflict cold if we also disarm all militias of heavy weapons and stop Iran training them in new equipment.

The only "pain" of non -military in this war has been increased energy prices and the only winner of this increase has been the oil majors. Lets change it and get something for both the American and Iraqi people.
