If BP was a Bank

Image via Wikipedia

If British Petroleum was a Wall St Bank,
The Congress would be bailing them out,
and BP would use the Bail out to pay
million dollar bonuses, and the Government
would ignore any criminal charges.
And lending them all the money they
wanted at 8% to pay for the oil related
damages.

And shield them from future regulation.
There have been no regulation changes
to stop the Banks from doing it all over again.
Nor have there been any civil suits over
the Toxic subprime fraud.

WHY DID THE WALL ST BANKS GET
SPECIAL HANDLING?

Ask congress why they handled the Banks
one way and BP another way?
