Well, that's not quite what the subway cat's saying, but it's exactly what she means.

Naomi Klein: The Bush gang's parting gift: a final, frantic looting of public wealth
from the Guardian UK:
The Bush gang's parting gift: a final, frantic looting of public wealth
The US bail-out amounts to a strings-free, public-funded windfall for big business. Welcome to no-risk capitalism

The Guardian, Friday October 31 2008
In the final days of the election many Republicans seem to have given up the fight for power. But don't be fooled: that doesn't mean they are relaxing blahblahblahblahblah.....

Resentful thugs. I hope the Democratic president and congress can TAKE BACK the money they have STOLEN from US!!!
What about the money the subway cat's stolen from the taxpayers of Baltimore, of Maryland, of the United States, getting all those social services programs when she could be contributing to the treasury rather than taking from it?

8. Agreed no statute of limitations for robber barons and tyrants!
And there should be a way to go after their friends, family, acquaintances and business contacts.And forever seek to prosecute all these pigs in ANY country they attempt to hide in, after they get out of power too.
Ditto that ditto

12. Yep
Considering the horrible"non lethal" weapons they have made to oppress citizens lest we get"uppity".
I say that the Dem's should go after these robber barons to the ends of the earth as the economic terrorists they are, and take back every stolen dime of public money ands perks they and their families,acquaintances,friends,and business cohorts steal.

Hey UP! That sounds good but the Dem's will be too busy lining their own pockets to worry about anyone else...just sayin'

In fact, there has been no nationalisation, partial or otherwise. American taxpayers have gained no meaningful control over the banks, which is why the banks are free to spend the new money as they wish. At Morgan Stanley, it looks as if much of the windfall will cover this year's bonuses. Citigroup has been hinting it will use its $25bn buying other banks, while John Thain, the chief executive of Merrill Lynch, told analysts: "At least for the next quarter, it's just going to be a cushion." The US government, meanwhile, is reduced to pleading with the banks that they at least spend a portion of the taxpayer windfall for loans - officially, the reason for the entire programme.
I believe Ms. Klein has missed one major item in her hit piece...the minor fact that the Congress that wrote this bill, with all it's faults, is NOT Bush's gang, but the majority-Democrats...those Dims that are large and in charge...and now begging the banks to do what they didn't write into the bill. I heard poor old Barney Frank whining about it on NPR this afternoon. Blaming Bush for the Congressional idiocy is just one more symptom of BDS.

What's this "US" crap that she meowing about?
She doesn't work, doesn't pay taxes and lives off the government teat.
I think it's time for UP to go see the vet and be sent off to that big pajama party in the sky.

If subway kitty wants to go after thieves, she should go after the people who took loans they could never afford. Of course, she probably thinks banks made loans that would sink them without being coerced.

This is how most people get immunity from thieves .

This is how far to many people that bitch and whine about needing protection from thieves and they do nothing about it end up.
