Every man for himself in the global ocean. Stick with the hull, grab a lifeboat, snag a preserver, try to swim to a different shoreline if you see one that looks more promising... ...your government has sold your ass out.
Most of the AIG and Citi Tarp $'s are going into settling credit derivatives that should never be honored because the whole CDS scheme was a gigantic fraud to begin with. AIG and Citi are paying off those who were insured against losses on investments they got at cut rates and that were guaranteed to fail and pay off @ dollars on pennies. The perpetrators of this scam operated out of London in order to avoid U.S. law. The benefactors can't be identified unless Obama demands the revealing of their identities from AIG and Citi. We'll see if he's got the will to take on these ubercrooks. Amongst those he'd have to implicate: Paulson for sure, and possibly Bush.
