Taxpayers get guillotined, they don't get "haircuts". Banksters don't get either, they get bonuses and a pat on the back with a "Great job, Brownie" salute.

>>Hold on a minute! Didn't Geithner just run bank "stress tests" last year to prove that the banks could withstand losses on second liens?

Yes. And the banks all passed with flying colors. So, why are the banks whining now about the potential for "catastrophic" losses if the plan goes forward? Either they were lying then or they're lying now; which is it?<<

there is a third, more likely, option - they were lying then and they are lying now.

> And as far as the banks taking "haircuts"? Forget about it! Banks don't take "haircuts". It looks bad on their quarterly reports and cuts into their bonuses. Taxpayers take haircuts, not banksters. Besides, that's what Geithner gets paid for--to make sure bigshot tycoons don't have to pay for their mistakes or bother with the niggling details of fleecing the little people. <<

That's Awesome!
