No one seemed to care that the DAY Citi got their bail out, they donated $1 million to La Raza for their “help” in giving sub prime loans to Hispanic’s.( the reason Citi needed the money)

"What the heck is going on?!? "

The government has declared war on the White middle-class, see this video about what's in the stimulus package:

No Jobs For White Male Construction Workers

It's your money they're spending!!!!

Translated, Pelosi is hairy or furry. The Hairy and Harry show will have run its course in 2010 I am hoping. The woman is insane and shouldn't be allowed to handle sharp objects let alone run the House. She has those "runaway bride eyes" just like Hillary and Cynthia McKinney; all certifiable.........lol.

So now BofA is my company’s bank, and at the end of the year we asked for a $500,000 overadvance on our $15,000,000 credit line to buy raw materials to ramp up production in our 200 employee facility, after the disaster that was the 4th quarter of 2008. We have a lot of orders but couldn’t buy the raw materials we needed because of our cash starved condition following the 2008 end-of-year order stoppage.

They said no, so we are in Chapter 11 hoping for a financial bailout. Not a great time to be looking for financing or an equity player. Chances aren’t good we’ll make it. The bank will get their money from our collateral but the employees will lose their jobs if we don’t.

Don’t see anything in the bailout package that helps us at all, and we are the kind of business where real jobs are made and lost.

I couldn't agree more. Thanks for that link - I had been looking to reference that one.

I am a small business owner in the construction industry and I am feeling the pain from both sides - no work but still gotta pay those taxes!!

I feel sick...

Jean, you may have already tried but, if not, this may be the time to show your Senator/Congresspeople this story about BOA giving money to ACORN but turning down your company request which would help keep jobs...
or maybe a call to BOA headquarters....

.....may be pie in the sky but...timing may be right...never know.

Best wishes to you and your employees!

That's a very astute observation. I had never noticed that commonality between all these women before...I wonder if the insanity causes the wild eyed look or if the wild eyedness contributes to the insanity?

That N Muslim makes me so mad I could spit nails. Then the Communist Rat Party gives away our tax money to those crooks.

I know exactly how you feel. Every day it's another unbelievable abuse of OUR hard earned money given away. Time for a tax revolt on a massive scale. They have to be stopped, it's spiraling out of control and they won't listen. zer0 is going to get money to ACORN and others like them come hell or high water and I'm not supporting their corruption
