George W. Bush, Hank Paulson and Barack Obama all look so similar it's easy to understand how you got them mixed up - especially since they all wear dark suits and ties. The two guys in the suits with pale white skin were the ones who bailed out the banks with a trillion Dollars of taxpayer money. That was George W. Bush and Hank Paulson. The guy in the suit with the darker skin, Barack Obama, wasn't yet in the White House at the time.

The truth is Bush bailed out the banks....oh, and he was elected one month after TARP was signed by Bush. en.wikipedia.org The Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) is a program of the United States government to purchase assets and equity from financial institutions to strengthen its financial sector that was signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush on October 3, 2008. It was a component of the government's measures in 2008 to address the subprime mortgage crisis.

For the working class they've been falling much further behind and can't participate in housing bubble 2.0. Rents up 50% in five years other costs not further behind as wages remain stagnant due to technology, globalization and corporate facism. This impacts them much more than the actual bailouts. Would we have been all better off not doing the bailouts and having an actual mini depression lasting to 2012?
