End TARP and End the Stimulus
Earlier this month the Treasury Department found that all 19 banks subject to government “stress tests” passed. Now this past Sunday, White House Director of the Office of Management and Budget Peter Orszag announced that: “The freefall in the economy seems to have stopped.”
Economic catastrophe was the only rational supporting both the $700 billion TARP and the $787 billion stimulus. Now that the “freefall” is over it is time to repeal TARP and repeal the stimulus.

CEO Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan, up to his old tricks again. No sooner did the bank annex a revenue stream from Washington Mutual, than his firm sought to unload the firms debt obligations on U.S. tax payers.
Then his firm sought to violate a number of laws, chief among them, to make material changes in their accounting methods.
How classic for a NY Banker to now be in a hurry to privatize their profits again. ... In a hurry to unload debt in September, October, November, December and January. ...Make changes in accounting trick. Then, in a hurry to go private again.

Add to the whole charade, a luscious surplus of omissions. Andwhat you have is Jamie with his hands in Uncle Sam's trousers. Asking Uncle Same to help him perpetrate fraud on the American public and deprive them of laws that would otherwise serve to protect them from abusive, indulgent NY bankers.
You would think the NYers of the World Trade Center, did not died under capitalist rule? Did they die for nothing then?
At ground zero, NY banking centers and their brokerage arms were the first to slink away from defense of capitalism, in the time of crisis, when capitalism needed a defender.
Instead of defend capitalism, NY banks sought to circumvent the above laws and then did also go silent, omitting to defend capitalism long enough to unload their debts on others. Could not even take a loss in two down years of the capital cycle. All those good years, well they privatized their profits, but in one or two bad years, they socialize their losses.
How convenient for cowards, who wriggle away from their debt obligations.
Bunch of anglo saxon purveyors of fraud: So many omissions piled on top of each other, evince fraud. Jamie Dimon at the top of the list with the 12 monkeys from the ward who run Goldman Sachs.
Socializing the debt obligations their middle managers signed their firms into. And then shirking it off when it comes due. ...Remember this line, "we are all in this together." ... Now the polar extreme, in a hurry to privatize their gains again.
They are so transparent.
What cowards.... the first to fall silent in defense of capitalism, during a crisis.

All these signors, first from the ward of NY Bankers, to forget to defend capitalism in a time of crisis. In a hurry to offload their debt obligations on the American people, forgot all about defending capitalism, the above laws, contract law and debtors law:

Now seeking to privatize their gains again... Fed should tell them they can repay TARP funds, when they also take back their toxic debts and accept responsibility for the derivatives they brokered and charged large fees for during the ":glory" years...
JP Morgan should also have to give back revenue stream of Washington Mutual back to Seattle area bankers. Let them submit plans for recapitalization like Favored Jamie's firm.
