Obama Falsely Claims 'Every Penny' of Bailout Proceeds Will Go to Americans
Contrary to Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) statement on the Senate floor that “every penny” of potential profit derived from the government’s purchase and resale of troubled mortgage-backed securities “will go directly back to the American people,” the law says the money will go to pay off federal debt – some of which is held by foreign entities.
Bailout bill loops in green tech, IRS snooping
The bailout bill also gives the Internal Revenue Service new authority to conduct undercover operations. It would immunize the IRS from a passel of federal laws, including permitting IRS agents to run businesses for an extended sting operation, to open their own personal bank accounts with U.S. tax dollars, and so on. (Think IRS agents posing as accountants or tax preparers and saying, "I'm not sure if that deduction is entirely legal, but it'll save you $1,000. Want to take it?") That section had expired as of January 1, 2008, and would now be renewed.
