Obama jut put a 117 billion $ tax on NYC

More general douchebaggary vagaries. I NEVER tried to slide AIG from one side of the ledger to the other. I failed to make the distinction between the banks and AIG (even if you make the argument that banks got it back-door through AIG). I made the distinction for YOU because I wanted to make it clear for the mentally challenged what would have been obvious to most.

to each according to his needs from each according to his ability

I take it as a compliment that samadams and you are still riding shotgun. what a team, brilliance personafied.

Is AIG going to get roped in by this levy? are the autos? bueller, bueller??

can you tell me what other banks haven't paid back TARP besides Citi?

any involvement with the government is a disgrace

thanks AR - for those that care, hit the link to those who have refunded and see whats left. Bueller, bueller??

The sad thing the bailouts would not have been necessary if we did bankruptcy.
We got socialism wrong. In a socialist country they nationalize the companies with money. We did the opposite. How dumb is that?

> Bueller, bueller??

rangersfan, I said it already... you can repeat yourself all you want, but that won't make AIG an auto bailout!

i love it!

sorry, when the AIG money goes to goldman, you have to be lying to say its not part of the financials bucket.

And, yes, goldman SHOULD be paying for the aig bailout. To throw out this red herring of paying for the auto bailout, thats either dumb or deceitful.

Or did AIG suddenly start making pickup trucks, rangers fan....

> I NEVER tried to slide AIG from one side of the ledger to the other.

Sure you did. Its right up there in your posts!

I love it! trying to run from what he said...

> just a side note on Union corruption, NYC doesn't hold a candle to Chicago

Thats why we got the whole state on it here... that a city has it, thats NOTHING. Our entire state is in the pockets of the union....

"> ranger you are makin an arse of yourself. move on already, you were wrong

which usually leads folks like that to just dig in more..."

ha... did I not tell you so?

My point from the very beginning was that TARP would effectively be repaid by the financials (banks) and and at a profit for the gvmt and taxpayers. NOW, see if you can stay with me on this, and I was immediatley attacked by you and your buttbuddy samadams saying 120 billion of TARP was "lost forever" and I was wrong to suggest it ultimately will not be recouped. You also added the brilliant statement that TARP was never intended to be repaid but lets leave that crazy comment aside for the moment. You also derided the fact that the unpaid TARP (or projected losses) was going to end up as a loss for all. Stay with me here, I also said that Obamie was ginning up a budget which would include a provision that would recoup TARP that would be borne by the financials (sans AIG) and that is EXACTLY what happened. AND that this levy/tax/whatever would pay for the losses that were generated by the autos/AIG - again, exactly what happened. Now do you want me also have this done in sign language for you too? Geez.

> My point from the very beginning was

Dude, you can repeat yourself all you want, and change your story 100x, buy you were wrong, you lost, repeated that 10x, game over.

Half the folks on this thread are laughing at you. Get a clue already.

> (sans AIG)

I love it! After you just tried to say you DIDN'T try to slide aig out... here you are doing it again!

Oh my lord, dude, really, you lost, game over.

It was funny for a while, now its just sad.

> Now do you want me also have this done in sign language for you too? Geez.

Nonsense in sign language.... that would be like, what, jazz hands?

Inflatable rat and a bullhorn..........

Low borrowing rates for 3 more years are helpful.

whatever happened to that imbicile samadams. and in the ultimately irony, swe posted in another thread about a year later that the gvmt was repaid on TARP. Only took him about a year to catch up.....

>whatever happened to that imbicile samadams.

He made a beer.
What's been with you lately?
