(That this is the same total as Treasury's bailout plan is just a coincidence.) " Tue Sep 30, 2008 8:10 pm  twotap F L I N T O I D The best part of the bailout was the dems wanting to divert 20% of it to ACORN. Thankfully someone was alerted to that fact. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!! Barack Hussein Obama--- multiple times.

Wed Oct 01, 2008 8:51 am  twotap F L I N T O I D Thanks Dave I guess I got so engrossed in Andis thread I forgot to play by the rules Atlas has set up for the forum. http://insightanalytical.wordpress.com/2008/09/25/what-acorn-given-20-of-bailout-money-under-original-bailout-proposal/ http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/rnr/856184705.html http://www.goldtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34466 [url]http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_(A_to_Z)/Stocks_G/threadview?m=tm&bn=25263&tid=1210737&mid=1210737&tof=16&frt=2[/url] http://theunionnews.blogspot.com/2008/09/acorn-gets-500-millionyr-from-taxpayers.html _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!! Barack Hussein Obama--- multiple times. Wed Oct 01, 2008 8:57 am  Atlas Smirked F L I N T O I D Yes, you got me there, my apologies. The percentage could be questioned, but after reading Dave's link, I checked, and the real media has covered this too. What's the saying? Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Having said that, I'm not sure ACORN is any less responsible or worthy than many Wall Street institutions. At least ACORN was planning on helping people losing their homes. Meantime, I'm still thinking maybe withdrawing my 401k and taking the tax hit might be more profitable than letting it continue to lose value as House members pose for re-election stances.

I guess you could say I am off to the Maul. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!! Barack Hussein Obama--- multiple times.
