This is another example of our government using “transparency” as a noun, not a verb. They have no right to keep meetings of this importance secret from the public. IF we get any information it will be scrubbed and pre-digested for our safety.

Socialize the Costs
Privatize the Profits

????? ????? ?????
Ev’ry morning, ev’ry evening, ain’t we got fun?
Not much money, oh but honey, ain’t we got fun?
The rent’s unpaid dear, we haven’t a car;
But anyway, dear, we’ll stay as we are.

????? ????? ?????
In the winter, in the summer, don’t we have fun?
Times are glum and getting glummer, still we have fun.
There’s nothing surer: the rich get rich and the poor get poorer.
In the meantime, in between time, ain’t we got fun?

He didn’t want the press to hear the conference call to China asking for $85 Billion to loan to AIG. Or maybe he didn’t want to hear the conference call to China to borrow the $10 Billion for Halliburton this month.

They borrow money from foriegn countries while they steal from the people in this country. That is reaganomics and trickle down economics.

It doesn’t surprise me that this secret administration is having another closed door meeting. I’ll bet Cheney’s there. But then that’s a secret, yeh,huh,yeh…

Tawdry, I agree.
I mean, what’s he going to say? The fundamentals of our economy are still strong but we’re in a ’slowdown’?
They’re going to have dumb that meeting down for Bush to understand what’s going on in our country.

Bush? Oh yeah, that guy.

It’s about time for them to take him on the fishing trip he never comes back from.

Obviously it’s more than “an adjustment”, words used by President Bush to describe the now “closed door” crisis.

If the Democrats represent socialism, then why is the GOP Kremlin and KGB taking control of Wall Street? Is this the new “Cold War” they promised us?

Sounds like the less we all know, the grim reaper that is “the worst” can’t be let in to finish off the Bush financial policies.

Goldstandard, (Comment 19)

I agree totally, my friend, but first let’s get them all out of office, away from the possibility of any pardon, and hang them all out to dry–from Chicken George WTF to the GS-3 clerk in the lowest agency in the chain. The fines should be steep enough to recover every thing they stole in the last eight years, or more, plus enough to make each one hurt a lot and the sentences long enough that we have every bit (literally and figuratively) of trash picked up along our highways from Point Hope, Alaska to Key West, Florida and from Van Buren, Maine, to Imperial Beach, California.

Honestly, this is probably a good thing, because whenever Bush appears, he doesn’t exactly inspire confidence, does he? He usually inspires nausea.
