"Socialists living large pretending to help the 'downtrodden.'”

Socialism-the ultimate 1% system.

Things get ugly when the 99%, who think they wil be that 1% living large, find out that they won't be, and instead live in poverty and misery like the rest of the duped, who voted it (Socialism) in.

CIRCA 2009 EXCERPT---FOURTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS Behind The Real Size of the Bailout;
A guide to the abbreviations, acronyms, and obscure programs that make up the $14 trillion federal bailout of Wall Street
SOURCE motherjones.com --- Mon Dec. 21, 2009 12:23 PM PST

The price tag for the Wall Street bailout is popularly put at $787 billion—---the actual size of TARP--the Troubled Assets Relief Program. But TARP is just the best known program in an array of more than 30 overseen by Treasury Department and Federal Reserve that have paid out or put aside untraceable money to bail out financial firms and inject money into the markets.

To get a sense of the size of the real $14 trillion bailout, see MJ chart at web site. A guide to the pieces of the puzzle includes massive untraceable Treasury Department bailout programs.

Money Market Mutual Fund: In September 2008, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel announced that it would insure the holdings of publicly offered money market mutual funds. According to the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP), these guarantees could have potentially cost the federal government more than $3 trillion [PDF].

Public-Private Investment Fund: This joint Treasury-Federal Reserve program bought toxic assets from banks and brokerages—as much as $5 billion of assets per firm. According to SIGTARP, the government's potential exposure from the PPIF is between $500 million and $1 trillion [PDF].

TARP: As part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel made loans to or investments more than 750 banks and financial institutions. $650 billion has been paid out (not including HAMP; see below). As of December 21, 2009, $117.5 billion of that has been repaid.

Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) stock purchase: The Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel bought $200 million in preferred stock from Fannie Mae and another $200 million from Freddie Mac [PDF] to show that they "will remain viable entities critical to the functioning of the housing and mortgage markets."

GSE mortgage-backed securities purchase: Under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel may buy mortgage-backed securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. According to SIGTARP, these purchases could cost as much as $314 billion ---SNIP---.

LONG READ---go to web site to read more and checkout the shocking financial charts.

That’s what leftists do. They lie, cheat and steal. Look at Maduro. Look at Castro. Look at Hillary. Look at Bernie. See a pattern? In it for themselves, not the masses as they claim.

I know 2 people who got bailed out with these programs....and they both deserved to lose their houses.

Federal student loans are even worse: once word got out that these loans would pay full tuition BEFORE being billed by the schools, students took the maximum amount which was 5, 10, 15K more than the actual amount billed by the school. Amazingly, the schools would reimburse the STUDENTS (or parents in PLUS Loans) directly and not the Dept. of Education. Completely insane.

Students would cash the check, buy cars, drugs, throw parties, etc.

“The money goes to mortgage payment assistance for unemployed or underemployed homeowners, principal reduction to help homeowners get into more affordable mortgages, and blight elimination and down payment assistance efforts. California has received the biggest chunk of money ($2.3 billion)”

The state was sued because they kept the money to fill holes in the budget. Though the Court ruled against the state, the money is still being held by the state. No money has gone to benefit the intended recipients.

Yep. Obama was the single most successful mole to ever infiltrate the U.S. government.
