Wall Street n’est jamais \u00e0 court de sens pratique, avec bien les pieds sur terre. On y voit loin et l’on y a le bras long. Il y a aussi qu’on y cultive le go\u00fbt de la logique et qu’on aime que les choses aillent au terme de leur cycle; que le chasseur rentre de la montagne, que le marin revienne de la mer, et que l’argent retourne \u00e0 ceux qui ont le pouvoir d’en disposer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLe Congr\u00e8s a vot\u00e9 en septembre-octobre 2008 le plan Paulson, le premier geste gracieux ($700 milliards) de Washington en faveur de Wall Street, connu depuis sous l’acronyme de TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program). Il \u00e9tait logique qu’une partie en revint, dans le sens de retourner, au Congr\u00e8s, oh, pas tr\u00e8s importante, sans aucun doute, mais cela a bien autant de charme que les bonus d’AIG<\/a> et, dans tous les cas, une r\u00e9elle signification pour le sens des choses et l’\u00e9quilibre du syst\u00e8me. En effet, quelques miettes de TARP ($250.000, dit-on) sont revenues, depuis le d\u00e9but de l’ann\u00e9e, \u00e0 un certains nombre de ces parlementaires (26 d\u00e9put\u00e9s et 16 s\u00e9nateurs) qui, dans les deux augustes assembl\u00e9es, se sont charg\u00e9s du vote de TARP comme leur fonction leur en faisait un devoir. Comble d’attention et de subtilit\u00e9, Wall Street a eu l’esprit de diriger certaines de ces miettes les plus cons\u00e9quentes vers ceux qui vot\u00e8rent contre TARP pour que, la prochaine fois, ils aient l’esprit de voter comme il convient.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLa plupart des parlementaires ont accept\u00e9 sans le moindre embarras. (Embarras? Embarras? Quel dr\u00f4le de nom pour un parlementaire US. Pourquoi pas Incorruptible ou D\u00e9sint\u00e9ress\u00e9?) Certains autres, plut\u00f4t des d\u00e9mocrates \u00e9lus avec leur sens des nuances, conseillent \u00e0 leurs g\u00e9n\u00e9reux et potentiels donateurs de laisser passer un peu de temps avant de signer leurs ch\u00e8ques, pour qu’on donne au public, dont on dit qu’il est tr\u00e8s f\u00e2ch\u00e9<\/a>, le temps et l’\u00e9l\u00e9gance d’oublier l’objet de sa col\u00e8re.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLa chose est rapport\u00e9 notamment par NSBC, et aussi un peu dans Newsweek<\/em>, le tout \u00e9tant rassembl\u00e9 par RAW Story<\/em> le 27 mars 2009<\/a>. Nous avons donn\u00e9 l’essentiel du propos en l’adaptant dans notre langue commune pour v\u00e9rifier si, en fran\u00e7ais, il s’agissait bien de la m\u00eame histoire. C’est bien le cas.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abNBC’s chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd reported yesterday that both Democrats and Republicans have been receiving donations from bail-out firms. Two of the most vocal opponents of the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program(TARP) received some of the largest donations. Representative John Boehner(R-OH) received $5,000 from Bank of America, $5,000 from American Express, and $1,500 from U.S. Bancorp, while Eric Cantor(R-VA) received a total of $21,500 from Citigroup, Bank of America, American Express, Chrysler, and UBS. Cantor has opposed the TARP program in numerous interviews – Why isn’t it that Washington gets it anymore? he asked on MSNBC’s Morning Joe earlier this month but has yet to make a statement concerning the kick-backs from the bailed-out banking firms. 11 of 26 representatives who received donations were on the committee responsible for bail-out oversight.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbCorporations can donate to political campaigns through their Political Action Committees(PAC)<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbBoth sides of the aisle have received bail-out kick-backs. $15,000 was sent to each party’s campaign committee. Newsweek reported that House Democrats have quietly passed the word that they will be accepting campaign funds from companies like Bank of America, but only after public animosity over the bail-out dies down. Individually, Senator Harry Reid, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Representative Barney Frank have said that they returned checks from firms that received more than $1 billion of government money. If I, as chairman of this committee, were taking money from these beneficiaries…it would create the kind of distraction that we don’t need at this time, Frank explained to Chuck Todd.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
