Think of all the money being siphoned off right now
from government agencies that are really fronts for stealing from the treasury. NASA, the secret weapons programs, homeland security, StarWars defense systems, CIA secret operations, drugs, and so many, many more. If all that money was recovered we could probably add it to the stimulus package and really get people back to work. What other programs are there that are being used to funnel money out of the treasury?

1. Farm subsidies that go to big agribusinesses
and Small Business Administration loans that have been going to big businesses in the past 8 years, while small businesses don't get a penny.

10. I agree, from Enron to TARP it's a scam.
Madoff (made off) and Kashkari (Cash n Carry) are part of the plan and TARP is the cover up.

making it look like a loss just like he did at Goldman Sachs. He also gave away 2 trillion before this TARP bullshit money scam was invented. Out of the 350 billion so far they cant say where it has gone or been spent and the banks arent lending it so as far as I am concerned fuck them for the rest of it until Obama gets in and there are rules as to where the money has to go. The first couple of banks that don't go by the rules need to have the CEO's put in prison for Federal Racketeering.

3. The Lincoln Group is nothing more than a huge money laundering scheme

They got big $s to buy news in Iraq from the Pentagon and turned
around and gave millions to the RNC and the like.

My own "tin foil hat" tells me that billions have been stolen and are
ready to buy media and help the right wing.

4. Well these rats are already turning themselves into the IRS :)

many U.S. clients of UBS had started to voluntarily turn themselves in to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The clients have so far avoided serious punishment, the paper said

5. The day of reckoning is almost here
:hi:
Now I must watch out for dying as I don't want to miss this show coming up. As a matter of fact I might have to go back to drinking so I can be loud and obnoxious while watching too, by gawd. :-)

7. Ever wonder about that 8 billion?
You remember the 8 billion in cash that was loaded on pallets and shipped to Iraq? It was supposed to be distributed for reconstruction, etc. It disappeared and there was a little mainstream buzz for a short while. I always wondered whether most of it was diverted into the black-ops budget. Or maybe it was a "Kelly's Heros" job, with the dough being retasked for Cheney's new personal black budget. Just wondering.

12. I think thats pretty much what they've been using that for
helping with elections and things like that where they needed an infusion of cash to make it look like they have some real world support. I seen that bush is demanding the rest of the 700 Bil that they haven't doled out yet before he leaves for Texas/Paraguay

16. Yes. They couldn't follow where it went. My ass.
The EGYPTIANS managed to keep financial records, but these guys say they couldn't get signatures on a sheet of paper. My fucking ass. This is one reason why I DON'T universally "support the troops" - some of those "troops" make Dillinger look like Mother Teresa.
