Please correct me if I am wrong.....
I could swear folk around here have said GM was paid back, well?

http://www.komonews.com/news/national/Govt-report-says-US-lost-112-billion-on...

In a half a trillion dollar bailout,... an 11.2 billion deficit is a fart in a windstorm...

The bailout went well,.. and saved us from a 30's style depression...
Plus,.. the  treasury still holds some assets... this may equal a gain in the long run...

..and I don't say that in defence of Obama.. the wheels were in progress under Bush...(although he did create the mess to start with)...
Regardless,.. under either,.. it had to done.. and it turned out quite well...
It was gross incompetence and corruption that got us in the mess... fortunately,... cool heads prevailed...
JMHO...

Not sure if your supposition of it saving us from a 1930 style depression is correct or not, could only be postponing the inevitable.....
As the very same policies, by the very same folk, with the very same oversight safeguards, are pretty much intact.
The fact they say it was paid in full, is reason my trust will be withheld.

To say this number is a fart in a windstorm puzzles me too....
If it is such a paltry number, chump change, pay it then and then lets call it good.....

Sorry pal, I think you're chocking on the spoon they feed you with. Our financial house is a fricken mess, the piper has not played yet. To return to this caviler attitude of masking to look good is what got us here in the first place.
Tell you what, you try the same policies with your personal finance and get back to me with the results.....  

Where we are economically is no accident And it will not be fixed. Look back at the "mistakes", "aww GEE, we are just SO sorry! " "We had No idea there would be unintended consequences",,, Horse CRAP.. There is a game afoot, we are pawns. OUr country has been taken over by a power that cant even be located, physically, & punished or stopped. Its not just HERE, either. Remember the man I told you guys about? Wrote Confessions of an economic hit man? Just because he was an American doesnt mean what he was doing actually benefited US, What we are seeing is the culmination of the game.. We are seeing that "New World Order" being brought in.
Order out of chaos,, cant replace a system thats up & running, now can ya? SO, only by wrecking our economy can they drag us into the North American Union, the treaty was signed by Bush,Fox & whoever the Canadian PM was back then,
The federal reserve is owed Interest on every dollar we let them print.,
So, SINCE NO DOLLAR EXISTS except those which they create,, it became a mathematical impossibility to actually pay them back,, It is said that once upon a time someone did pay them back, but that was when it was possible to pay with something other than the dollars the federal reserve created. Gold & silver were still coined by the government back then.,& the federal reserve had to accept that. Now? Im not seein it,,

Pine-
I was not a fan of Bush either, I just don't want to hear excuses for our financial suicide.. All politicians lie, I dislike dems & repubs, business as usual is placing us deeper into debt and all obama can do is blame Bush.
this is obama's 6th year at the wheel.. look up his job accomplishments prior to his presidency, disgraceful performance
