Billionaire Says Stimulus Package "Not Enough"
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 24 Jan 2009 | John Semmens

Posted on 01/27/2009 9:52:03 AM PST by John Semmens

International financial manipulator and billionaire, George Soros says that the U.S. government’s bailout program is “too small and too poorly managed to revive the world economy.”

“We are going to need trillions of dollars in increased government handouts if there is to be any chance of avoiding another great depression,” Soros asserted. “For one, there are banks around the world that need bailing out. Yet, U.S. policy makers seem to be narrowly focused on what’s happening in America.”

Soros suggested that the U.S. government entrust the bailout to him. “I’ve shown the world that I can make money by becoming a billionaire,” Soros boasted. “A rational person would put his faith in my abilities.”

Soros’ said his condition for taking on the job is a completely free hand. “No one is qualified to judge my actions. I cannot be hampered by having to answer to a bunch of ignoramuses in congress or the White House.”

Coming soon: George Soros, the world’s first multitrillionaire.

Give me trillions of dollars, and I promise to hand it out responsibly. Sounds reasonable.

And for those trillions, he'll be able to buy a loaf of bread and a six pack.

In case you forgot: MoveOn founder and CEO George Soros a guilt-free Nazi collaborator

Here is a partial transcript from an interview done by Steve Kroft for CBS’ 60 Minutes George Soros on December 20, 1998:

When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, George Soros’ father was a successful lawyer. He lived on an island in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat. But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews, he decided to split his family up. He bought them forged papers and he bribed a government official to take 14-year-old George Soros in and swear that he was his Christian godson. But survival carried a heavy price tag. While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews.

............................................

The FDIC has just announced that a consortium of private equity and hedge fund firms would be buying IndyMac. IndyMac was an independent “bridge bank” spun off of Countrywide Mortgage in the late 90s. IndyMac acted as a “bridge bank” to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

New York Democrat Charles Shumer precipitated the fall of IndyMac in May of 2008 by releasing “inside” information that the mortgage company was in dire financial straits. This disclosure created the initial “bank run” that is credited by many economists as the initial trigger that prompted the current mortgage crisis. The FDIC took over the operations of IndyMac in late summer of 2008.

So much for history. George Soros is in on the deal to buy IndyMac from the FDIC. Soros has a long history of making loads of money by first creating a financial crisis and then stepping in to grab up the bargains. Perhaps the most famous example of this tactic is “Black Wednesday,” when Soros nearly sunk the entire economy of Great Britain through currency speculation.

George Soros has helped bankroll the campaigns of the Democrats in Congress who created this mess. Now, it appears, he is cashing in on his investment.

(Thanks - Larrey Anderson)

P.S.

Why has Georgy Schwartz not been convicted of WWII war crime?

Here is an idea. There are 2 million unemployed Americans. There is 825 billion dollars that the government wants to give to companies.

Loan the 825 bil to the 2 million unemployed. As part of that loan everyone is to pay off their cars, homes, credit card bills, etc. They can use their retirement savings up to the loan amount as collateral.

In this way, all these companies will get money from people and not the government. The companies will have to pay taxes so part of the 825 bil will be offset. In addition, those 2 million unemployed will come off unemployment, saving additional billions.

Companies will be forced to change their business models or close.

International financial manipulator and billionaire, George Soros says that the U.S. government’s bailout program is “too small and too poorly managed to revive the world economy.”

In other words... The Soros owned Democrats aren't funneling enough money to him in their $Trillion "stimulus" plan.

Someone should have popped this globalist f$$$ years ago...he is one of the key puppeteers in this global scam. A war crimes tribunal(with public hanging)is too good for this slime ball POS.

P.S. Have a nice day.

WOW!! That’s one heck of a welfare program. “Lending” my money to very poor credit risks.
We have got to understand that it is government schemes, machinations, regulations, spending, borrowing, taxing, printing that have gotten us into this mess. More grand schemes that attempt to cheat reality will just create a depression from which we will never recover.
That “conservatives” come up with this stuff is truly disheartening. Freedom is a good thing. We need more of it. And less of people who thing that they are god and can fix everything with their clever schemes.

“WOW!! That’s one heck of a welfare program. “Lending” my money to very poor credit risks.”

WOW!! That’s one heck of a welfare program. “Giving” my money to Companies who are very poor credit risks. Who won’t use it to help anyone but Obama’s supporters.

Many of those 2 million unemployed Americans are ordinary people, with mortgages, school loans and credit card payments. They are Democrat as well as Republican voters and quite a few are Conservatives. I know because I am one of them. I have excellent credit.

And in less than 30 days, several hundred thousand dollars that I have saved over the last 20 years for my retirement will face a 10% penalty as well as a 28% tax bill because I cannot find work or sell my house to move and that’s all the money I have for my family and I to live on.

And with all the money I have given Uncle Sam in the name of taxes over my working life, why can’t I get a loan(not a handout) to pay off my bills, learn a new skill and either find a different job or open a business?

Giving money to BOA will not stimulate the economy. Giving money to me will.

How arrogant is this guy? Trust *him* with the bailout plan? Give the money to *foreign* banks? We have enough problems between our own shores, why should we shore up banks that we can’t regulate? Is the OCC going to open an office in France? Sheesh.
