Shouldn't Congress haul Paulson and Bernanke's butts back to the Capitol next week?
Nobody knows where $2 trillion has been allocated by Treasury. Nobody knows why AIG execs are continuing to live high-on-the-hog. Nobody knows why Goldman Sachs stooge Neel Kashkari hasn't yet been drop-kicked from this universe (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/11/neel-kashkari-bailout-cza_n_142916.html).

5. Not even the "Theft of the Decade"
This is just a small cherry on top of the corruption sundae that has been the Bush administration for the last eight years.

One prediction, it'll get lots worse before it gets better.

3. Yes, and they should!
Unless they account for the funds, all the funds, including those the FED slipped banks under the table, they get no more money.

8. Point taken
Only a few members of Congress aren't complicit in this scam.

12. If a few of the pigs at the trough would take time to look up from the pig-out, we might get
the Congressional House of Sausage-Making to fulfill their duties to the taxpayers.

But my guess is they'll eat till they burst and let the taxpayers be damned. As always.

13. Yep, the hungry sharks are circling as they smell the blood of the gradual taking down of the U.S.
.. circling and just waiting to gorge on their own filthy scraps amidst the feeding frenzy

15. "Thank God it passed"

We need to push the reset button. No amount of government intervention is going to fix this, it's far too broken. Especially not the blatant corrupt thievery that we've seen up to present.

Edit to answer the question: HELL YES I want to see their lying, treasonous asses back in front of CONgress. Not that I think it'll do any good, but the dog and pony show would be a pleasant diversion.
