Staatsknete (= Steuergeld) fließt an Aktionäre

Das Geld war dafür gedacht es in Form von Krediten / Darlehen / Hilfen für (mittelständische) Unternehmen in Verkehr zu bringen.

Financial Times Deutschland:

“Von den 700 Mrd. $, mit denen Washington die Banken stützt, fließt ein Großteil in die Taschen der Aktionäre.”

Senator Dodd droht Banken:

Late Thursday afternoon, I caught up with Senator Dodd, and asked him what he was going to do if the loan situation didn’t improve. “All I can tell you is that we are going to have the bankers up here, probably in another couple of weeks and we are going to have a very blunt conversation,” he replied.

He continued: “If it turns out that they are hoarding, you’ll have a revolution on your hands. People will be so livid and furious that their tax money is going to line their pockets instead of doing the right thing. There will be hell to pay.”
