Just the tip of today’s prognostications!…
But be assured that Barney Frank announced today that the bailout was aimed basically at Joe Sixpack - the auto salespeople, construction workers, people in small businesses - not the banks; he said they were going to do “just fine.”
The bailout was to take the burden off the “average citizen,” and not aimed at helping out the wealthy “Wall St.” types.
The House Financial Services Chairman did NOT offer “proof” of how the average citizen would benefit, nor did he mention “when.”
Well he did mention that he’s dedicated to making sure it doesn’t happen again!
Barney Frank (MA), Chairman of the Financial Services Committee
