hat tip to Baobab.

as for the list of the bailout debtors..
check here:
https://projects.propublica.org/bailout/list

And MOST Especially notice that the bailout folks used the money for bonuses and to consolidate further- putting our country MORE not less at risk.

Asked by one of the participants whether the $25 billion in federal funding will "change our strategic lending policy," the executive replies: "What we do think, it will help us to be a little bit more active on the acquisition side or opportunistic side for some banks who are still struggling."

Referring to JPMorgan's recent government-backed acquisition of two large competitors, the executive continues: "And I would not assume that we are done on the acquisition side just because of the Washington Mutual and Bear Stearns mergers. I think there are going to be some great opportunities for us to grow in this environment, and I think we have an opportunity to use that $25 billion in that way, and obviously depending on whether recession turns into depression or what happens in the future, you know, we have that as a backstop."

This is why some folks want to see the transcripts.

And yes, none of the folks who 'misbehaved' were jailed in this country.
