OK, at first glance, I saw the obvious kickbacks and it was just confirmation for how corrupt these people are. Then, I thought a little longer, and have come to the conclusion that not only are they corrupt, they are incompetent. Think about it.

They have siphoned off a TRILLION DOLLARS from the debt trough for Wall Street, and what do these pols get? A few measly THOUSAND dollars? Really? That's all they got out of the deal? They have broken the first rule of successful criminal conduct: MAKE IT WORTH YOUR WHILE. Geez, if you are going to give away a Trillion Dollars, get a few million for it.

If this is all Clinton can get out of the trough of a Trillion Dollars, ask yourself: Is this the person we want negotiating international deals on our behalf?

I think not.

(Do I really need the /s/ tag?)

That's all they got out of the deal?

The real payoff is when they retire from Congress. Or perks for family/friends.

Small amounts of cash are more difficult to trace or questioned! How do think the Mexican drug lords that live on the borders do it... they deposit small quantities of cash! No questions asked! They use small businesses as fronts.

Just remember that there is six billion dollars missing from
the State Department under Hillary Clinton's watch.
Don't know if that has anything to do with TARP
funds but just think -- that cash went somewhere.
Who's got it?
