(MoneyWatch)* U.S. taxpayers may be on the hook to bail out big banks -- again. The Financial Times is reporting that taxpayers will subsidize a large portion of the $25 billion mortgage settlement, which was broken down into two distinct pieces:

Obama's not going to let any of his largest donors lose money, that would be stupid.

It has everything to do with Obama and his continuation of obviously failed policies. If you and the occupy buffoons you support would wake up to these undeniable facts thinking adults might consider taking you seriously.

obama did not create this housing mess.
These banks should be paying the piper.
I could careless whether you take me seriously or not, but perhaps if you could hold an on topic conversation without the juvenile name calling you would have something with some weight and validity to offer.

Obama has utterly failed to hold those responsible for the housing debacle accountable, as did his predecessor.

My post was completely on topic. Sorry you were unable to comprehend it. Can't say I'm surprised as you think the occupy movement is somehow (despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary) interested in anything other than their personal gain at the expense of the working class they deceptively claim to support.

No you aren't on topic, you took to personal attacks, brought up OWS.....which has nothing to do with this whatsoever.

obama isn't going to hold anyone accountable for this mess nor is anyone (with the exception of paul) because in large part those that created this mess have also bought these politicians. Therefore, it is up to the taxpayers to say
NO!

Seems there is finally a point upon which you and I agree. Paul is the only candidate that wants to hold the abusers accountable for their actions.

With regard to your claim of personal attack I suggest you grow a thicker skin. My previous posts disputed your oft professed ideology and were in no way personal.
