    Citigroup - Here we go again!

    Citigroup Inc. received a U.S. government rescue package that shields the bank from losses on toxic assets and injects $20 billion of capital, bolstering the stock after its 60 percent plunge last week.

    How bout them cowboys!

    If this is the same as Citibank, I say let them rot! I dont like Citibank. They do not want to work with you in regards to credit.

    I think this is part of the planned bailout from before. I don't think it's a new one. If Citibank fails then there are HUGE credit issues to follow. What happens is China buys all the debt and now your $$ goes there. Here's my solution, hold the world hostage. We have nukes, you pay us not to nuke you. Hehehehe.

    Interesting article about how much this current bailout, with the addition of the new Citgroup money, is actually costing us.

    It not so much that we are printing money, its really just borrowing money from China. I can't wait for the day when they decide that they actually want all the money the loaned us back....
