Follow the Money


Your country, bought and paid for by lobbyist dollars. Here is another example of why I hate the Democrats and Republicans.

This week, AIG reported $61.7 fourth-quarter loss, the largest quarterly loss in U.S. corporate history. The US government is now going to give them $30 billion dollars and is going to ease the terms on the $150 billion it already dumped down that toilet.

So why do we keep flushing the money? Well, who were the biggest recipients of AIG lobbyists? 1. Chris Dodd, 2. Barack Obama, 3. John McCain, 4. Hillary Clinton, 5. Max Baucus, 6. Mitt Romney, 7. Joseph Biden.

If politicians really care about the middle class, why do they dump trillions down these failed institutions and stick us for the bill?

here is another link to see

Obama's Top Contributors

Financial titans on the list:
2. Goldman Sachs
6. Citigroup
7. JPMorgan Chase & Co.
14. UBS AG
17. Morgan Stanley

Obama gets their money and he gives yours back to them, classic political quid pro quo.

Your comment concerns me.... that you hate democrats and republicans. I don't want you to become a bitter person. I understand your passion, but hate is not the answer, so I hope it was just a word choice... :) Sincerely, your eternally optimistic friend....

I am not bitter. I am very angry.
