Just a quick note of inspiration! The Citi executives that received the 50 billion dollar bailout are doing fine. Please do not worry about them. They say things are doing much better now, to compete with the other banks that are doing well they simply need a 50 million dollar plane. There old planes without the Italian leather, 92in flat screen tv`s and gold toilet bowl simply do not meet today`s standards. Let alone the new plane will be more fuel efficient which in turn lessens their carbon footprint on the Earth. Of course also they will be selling the older planes when they can, the other jets that are worth 27 million. Read the full article here

I was pretty disgusted and upset when I was watching channel 4 this morning and heard this. But there is one even better did hear about the guy who works for Merrill Lynch and needed to renovate his office??? Can you guess how much the office renovation costs? 1.2 Million  John Thain a former Lynch CEO |

Word this morning is that Citi will not accept the plane now. Next question if the plane was coming from Boeing, does that put Boeing employees out of work? ? I normally don't really care what corporate big money people do with their money because if their business pays them that, and sells their goods and services at such prices that people buy what they are offering, well that's their right to do so. What they buy then pays for someone else's business, employees etc etc. HOWEVER, when they are using my money (tax dollars) given to them with no restrictions, and that allows them to act like selfish children with a bad case of the I Wants that's when I get just a little ticked off. : ( |

Move along now, nothing to see here. No really. The media (the 4th branch of our government) is using these things to take your mind off of the real criminals, the people that gave them our money in the first place. And it's working on the sheeple. Let's not forget the same people that gave them our money are the ones that caused the problem. Yes, I am talking about our congress. We need to keep our eyes on the ball! |

Apparently They got a call from the WhiteHouse regarding the issue and they said "NO YOU CAN'T" have a new Jet. It was a French plane for those wondering if we just stop some money from flowing into the US market.  |

By the way, the jet was ordered four years ago when the company was stable. And paid the 50%deposit when they ordered it four years ago.
