Did anyone actually think we’d see these funds back? I know I was told by a lot here to “trust”, support the bailouts & such, and that we’d get back our money with interest... I wonder where those same folks are now? As I understand it, when they said we'd get our money back they were talking about the government getting our money back. They never said that the greedy taxpayers would ever see a penny of the government's money.
Money once "acquired" by government becomes the government's money (AKA politician's money)to use as a slush fund to buy votes or reward supporters.
