free Bailout bumper sticker: "No banker left behind"Attach this sticker to your car bumper--here's how: After printing this page, cut out the sticker. Use two pieces of clear packaging tape about 11 inches long by 2 inches wide, covering each half of the sticker lengthwise, with a little excess over the edges. The excess tape (overlapping the edges) will fasten the sticker to your bumper. The other part of the tape (across the sticker) will protect against the weather temporarily.
"It is worse than a lie. [Treasury Secretary] Geithner has appropriated the language of his critics and of the forthright to support dishonesty. That is what's so appalling--numbering himself among those who convey tough medicine when he is really pandering to the interests of a select group of banks who are on a first-name basis with Washington politicians." William Black, a deputy director at the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation during the thrift crisis of the 1980s, interviewed in Barron's, April 13, 2009

EDITORIAL: Motive for the Bailout? With deflation, the rich lose, and so they call deflation "the collapse of our financial system." Their solution: massive public financing (bailout) paid for by taxpayers, which eventually brings massive inflation. During inflation, the poor lose while the rich gain. By using taxpayer money to bailout bankers and a few homeowners, Congress is saving their own investments in the profits of large financial institutions. And when inflation kicks in, Congress will just give itself a raise.
