Decision to award bailout money to City National Bank probed
- Text size

Los Angeles Times
January 2, 2008
Can a $400-million injection of federal bailout money to the “bank to the stars” in Beverly Hills really help revive the troubled U.S. economy?
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
That’s one of the questions the Treasury Department’s inspector general is asking in a review of the decision to award bailout funds to City National Bank, The Times has learned.
The inspector general’s examination of the funding for City National reflects growing concern in Washington about whether the banking bailout is working. In a private meeting Dec. 10, top financial regulators, including Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson, acknowledged the difficulty of keeping track of the massive funding and measuring its effects on the economy, according to documents released Wednesday.

Yes the bailout is indeed working! It works for the thieves anyway.
January 2nd, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Yes. Let us continue to employ the fox to guard the hen-house.
Uh….Mr. Paulson we need you to find out why all of the money loaned to these banks is not stimulating the economy.
I’m on top of it!
January 2nd, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Yes, when you lend money you don have, create money that doesn’t exist and then borrow money you can never pay back, while a slave to the Federal Reserve Bank, it’s bound to work, especiallly now that Mr. Change is on his way.

How about an audit from the federal reserves partner in crime THE IRS. I’m sure they can find the money, because they do a damn good job keeping track of what I make and what I spend.
January 2nd, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Can’t let our amerikahn idiots (I mean idols) go down the s---ter now can we.
January 2nd, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Corruption. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Paulson your a piece of s--- and a thief. Paulson and all his cronies have used sophistry, fraud, deception and just plain bald face lies to continue his robbery of the American people for generation into the future. His arrogance, audacity and contempt of the American public is unparalleled. Yet continues his looting and lies and we the public sit and do nothing. The Congress and Senate have done nothing and will do nothing because of their complicity and cowardice. They, Congress and Senate are little less that political puppets for the bankers and should be considered expendable. Your time is coming you son of a bitches. You and all the rest of you useless fu*ks. God himself wont save you now because he wants you dead too.
The change the pilgrims thought they would get wont be what they wanted. But they will shut up like good little puppets and bite their secretly fascist tongues so as not to have to admit the idiocy of their vote in public. The beauty of the secret vote. Letting the new regime move forward unchallenged and unfettered.
All the pretended probes and examinations are only for show and to give the appearance of concern and maintained of propriety of the bailout scheme. The scam continues. They are not done yet.
January 2nd, 2009 at 9:59 pm
I agree with Mr. Toecutter, a lot of things are wrong in our counrty and public seem to not care about it. Any solution to it?
January 2nd, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Solution: give the money to the American people free of interest and let them spend it.
January 2nd, 2009 at 10:56 pm
The bailout was a gimmick. We knew it, we protested against it, we told our ‘representatives’.
Now they come with another gimmick: ‘investigations’.
Yeah, right. Investigate my ass.

I hope the US GVT continues to sponsor fiat bailout into the trillions.
I want this country so financially broken that the GVT cannot afford the welfare programs and has to admit that the FED is not an entity of GVT and slam the average dumb ass citizen’s face in the dirt and grind them on the neck with a boot to the back of their heads…. THEN maybe they will figure that out since they are too stupid to learn how this country came to be where it is finacially….
January 3rd, 2009 at 1:30 am
Hey casual observer, how obvious of a shill can you be. Where are you in the social scheme that you are above the average American? You are blaming the average American citizen for the illegality of the fed? The obvious stupidity of this illusion is proof that, either you are being FED this propaganda by the FED, or you are unbelievably stupid!
This country is where it is economically and financially because of the federal reserve. Please try to explain the logic of your comment. Why do you think the citizens face should be… slammed in the dirt and grind their neck with a boot to the back of their heads??????????????????????????????
What an @#*hole!
January 3rd, 2009 at 2:27 am
I am not a “shill” because I beleive in accountability on a personal level.. In fact anyone who beleives otherwise is a parasite.
January 3rd, 2009 at 2:41 am
is this a token investigation?
i mean the sums here are not billions but millions…

So…the guys that came up with the bailout now question that it works, that’s it, right?
I mean, why would they ever think that just printing more money would work?
Only a DUMBASS would think that.
And an even BIGGER dumbass would say it to CNN.
Oh wait, here’s one: http://mediacondom.com/?p=302

they give all this money to the non producers of this country, which in turn will continue to produce nothing.

STAY TUNED! ANOTHER FUKING BAILOUT:
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) — Governors of five states urged the federal government to provide $1 trillion in aid to the country’s 50 states to help pay for education, welfare and infrastructure, as states struggle with steep budget deficits amid a deepening recession.
The governors of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio and Wisconsin – all Democrats – said the initiative for the two-year aid package was backed by other governors and follows a meeting in December where governors called on President-elect Barack Obama to help them maintain services in the face of slumping revenues.
Gov. David Paterson of New York said 43 states now have budget deficits totaling some $100 billion as tax revenues plunge.
“It’s clear that the federal government needs to step in and jump-start the economy,” said Gov. Deval Patrick of Massachusetts.
Public spending
The latest package calls for $350 billion to create jobs by building or repairing
roads, bridges and ………….BLAH Blah

ok. good piont ADAPT, but sales taxes are imposed by state and local governments not federal. the IRS collects INCOME tax in order to pay the interest that we owe to the bankers for lending us our own money. IF i make 50k then the federal government takes 30% then i spend the remaing 70% of the money, then the person that gets it pays income tax, then pays thier employees who also pay income tax. so after a few cycles of the same money, the federal government will end up with 99.9999999999% of it. this is a 3rd grade math problem but for some reason the EXPERTS can’t seem to understand that this is a problem.
If they gave the bailout money to the people, nothing would happen to the economy. exactly nothing. FOR every dollar they create, every other dollar in existence is devalued accordingly, which means that the money in your pocket will go up but prices of the goods you buy will go up exactly the same amount. so itsa wash. the problem is, they thay invented trillions ofdollars so the prices of the goods will go up but you and I dont get any of the bailout money. THEY litterally have stolen trillions of dollars worth of wealth from the american people. WE ARE DONE. dont keep your money in the bank. or even in
US currency. if the US bankrupts, then no more FDIC. and your dollar bills will be worth nothing.
