Prickly City by Scott Stantis for April 14, 2009

did the animal put the lemodade on its own head? or did the child to it for him?? lost…

Bailout rage is all the rage.

Looks like Winslow represents government and Carmen represents private business. Also looks like a mobster hustling a shopkeeper for protection (for a part of the take) or else …

Bailouts aren’t given to businesses that don’t want them. If Carmen doesn’t want a bailout, she doesn’t get one. She would only get a bailout if her business failing would be a detriment to the country.

Plain and simple.

Stantis is all over the board on this one. He’s not making any sense.

Danielsangeo says “Bailouts aren’t given to businesses that don’t want them”, eh?

Daniel hasn’t been paying enough attention to the news. From the beginning of the crisis banks have been pressured to take bailout money regardless of whether they need or want it it.

Further, the government has been refusing to accept repayment from banks that want to get out from under the resulting government regulation (as if banks weren’t one of the most heavily regulated industries to begin with).

The government’s justification has been that they don’t want to call attention to which banks are unhealthy, so they apparently want all of them to appear in trouble. So much for the “openness and transparency” Obama goes on about.

pschearer: Got any evidence for those assertions?

pschearer - you say banks are being forced to take bailouts? Banks are being induced to maintain loans for the small business that require it. Since banks are hoarding money rather than make necessary and requested loans, The Feds are insisting they take monies for small business loans that require them; with these “LOANS” come government regulation. . Carmen’s small business isn’t requesting a loan and Winslow is insisting that she request bailout money she refuses. He’s always looking for a way to get government money. He gets mad, she retaliates and he threatens her. . Über Politik, nichts wissen Sie.
