Dodd admitted to lying about the loopholes and then turned around and said he was bullied into it. Not to mention that his wife used to be a director for a brizlian based company owned by AIG. You can't tell me he didn't know about the AIG bonuses


Psst...this is about GM.

The money was given to them to do as they wish.
Who signed the check?


When a company is whining about needing help, do you think they should be paying $12 million on fuel for its staff?

Now, will you answer my question? Who gave ultimate authorization to hand over the dough to GM?

What does it matter who authorized what...

GM exec's have the choice of right action or not...

Just as did AIG...

Not will probally have consequences that they may not like.

It happened because Yo'bama said ti get passed, we need it yesterday and he signed the thing without reading it through, knowing full well there were no restrictions or guidelines on how it was to be used.
Ya' Boi Fkd us. The supposed Economics genius, Fkd us Royal.


Yo'bama?huh Your true colors are showing there.

Wiki-

TARP - The monies The may be released to the Treasury upon a written report to Congress from the Treasury with details of its plan for the money. Congress then has 15 days to vote to disapprove the increase before the money will be automatically released.
15 days!

Timeline of Changes to the Initial Program

On November 12, 2008, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson indicated that reviving the securitization market for consumer credit would be a new priority in the second allotment[11][12]

On December 19, 2008, President Bush used his executive authority to declare that TARP funds may be spent on any program he personally deems necessary to avert the financial crisis, and declared Section 102 to be nonbinding. This has allowed President Bush to extend the use of TARP funds to support the auto industry, a move supported by the United Auto Workers.

On January 15, 2009, the Treasury issued interim final rules for reporting and record keeping requirements under the executive compensation standards of the CPP. [13]

On January 21, 2009, the Treasury announced new regulations regarding disclosure and mitigation of conflicts of interest in its TARP contracting [14]

On February 5, 2009, the Senate approved changes to the TARP which prohibit firms receiving TARP funds from paying bonuses to their 25 highest-paid employees. The amendment was proposed by Christopher Dodd of Connecticut as an amendment to the $900 billion economic stimulus act yet to be passed. [15]


It appears that there is a rush to get it passed - it's 15 days.

Bush extended TARP to include United Auto Workers. Obama wants new regulations put forth. He felt that Bush did not have enough regulations in the first tier of payments.





I answered your question and I asked you one.
Why no answer?
Who signed and authorized money for GM?

Vote them out. Run for office yourself. Start a letter writing campaign within your community expressing your views (please not an online petition, they don't pay attention to those). Flood their office with e-mails, faxes, letters and phone calls insisting that they behave responsibly and with honor.

Your representatives are local people, people from your community. They will respond to local pressure, especially from local business. That's where their campaign money and votes come from, after all. Take your views to the press, put some PRESSURE on these people to do the right thing. Find out how to have them impeached at a local level (it is possible). There are many things you can do if you don't agree with your elected officials. The biggest thing you need to remember is there is strength in numbers and bad press flowerforyou

Bush gave GM the money. Congress turned them down when GM refused to renegotiate the UAW's contract.

A little off topic.
I've heard of but, can't seem to locate them. Another new Party coming up. Something along the lines of We The People. I heard their aim is to reduce Gov. etc. If anyone could point me to them, I'd appreciate it.
