					<description><![CDATA[Re: Arguably, back then, the Bush administration was acting for purely economic reasons. 

Where the heck did that stupid assumption come from?

There is no evidence Bush was acting from any economic-based motive.

TARP is and always has been about power.  Money is at bes the tool.

Even the 3-page Bush/Paulson plan made this clear.  The Government decides which assets it wants to &quot;buy&quot;.  The Government sets the &quot;price&quot; and the &quot;terms&quot;.  And there is nothing the company recieving this &quot;help&quot; can do about it.

The Obama use of the power usurped by Bush are the same as when Bush wanted to use them.  the target of the largesse &lt;i&gt;might&lt;/i&gt; change slightly.  But since Goldman Sachs Boyz run the treasury, even that is unlikley.

 Stuart Varney clearly believes: &quot;It&#039;s not Fascism when our side does it.&quot;]]></description>

After all, Citibank IS a Zombie and should simply be sold off in pieces; perhaps the same is true of M&#038;I and Bank of America.]]></description>
