Don't Ask, Don't Tell Applies to Bailout Funds

The big banks that reaped hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars that Congress lavished on them are telling anyone who asks what they did with the money to go pound sand. They're refusing to provide that information to the taxpayers from whom the money came.

All we know for sure is that some banks used the funds to get bigger by buying other smaller banks.

And, oh yes, they did pay out $1.6 billion in bonuses to their top executives.

Keep working to pay taxes so Congress can continue to reward such behavior and failing enterprises that make large campaign contributions. Just keep working and keep your mouth shut.
