Shouldn't he be thanking the American taxpayers?

Trust me on this, you really don't want Citi to fail. It would set off
a tidal wave of additional failures that would overwhelm the FDIC and
bring world trade to a halt. Excluding the sub-prime nonsense, their
basic business model is quite sound.

I could give a **** less if Citi Group fell on it's ass. If the ""business
model" were so good they wouldn't be where they are now and will be again
when they get a chance to walk with taxpayer monies.

Why trust crooks now?

By the way this will always remain "Bush's Crisis" no matter how many

Only the folks that had no trade or true work ethics starved during the
great depression.

Let them eat dirt.

Learn to speak Chinese and/or Spanish.

Perhaps a plan for universal monetary values "world wide" like the Euro
but expanded.

Perhaps then many will recognize we are a secondary world power or lower
after the "Bush Vacation" and "Cronies Administration". Brought on
ourselves by invasion of Muslim countries to steal oil as a trade for
lives at "their command" because we lacked leadership.

We are overdue for some humility as a lesson.
Some deserve punishment. Maybe the ultimate form.

No apologies accepted.

The above is just stupid.
