Subject: We can’t survive four more years of this! Author: DIRE STRAITS [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:23:37 10/26/08 Sun Bush and McCain (who has sided with Bush over 90% of the time) are changing ways the $700 BILLION bailout money is being used. First, the $700 billion rescue for the economy was about buying devalued mortgage-backed securities from tottering banks to unclog frozen credit markets. Then it was about using $250 billion of it to buy stakes in banks. The idea was that banks would use the money to start making loans again. But reports surfaced that bankers might instead use the money to buy other banks, pay dividends, give employees a raise and executives a bonus, or just sit on it. Insurance companies now want a piece; maybe automakers, too, even though Congress has approved $25 billion in low-interest loans for them.
