But, as we all know, this is how it really is.....

Obama was angry that Merrill Lynch used $1.2 million of TARP money to remodel an executive suite. Excuse me, but didn't Merrill have to hire a decorator and contractor? Didn't they have to buy the new furnishings?

That said, I agree. 1.2 million to remodel isn't unreasonable. I live in a tiny stone 18th c. village upstate, and we just spent twice that doing a half-assed repair job on a bridge. Depends on who you hire. Merril Lynch, I don't know if you've been, it's big. This is like say a 6 month remodelling job, that's 200k/month, that's going to hire what, 20 guys, and some materials? That's not unreasonable. Welcome to the new value of the dollar.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

He's half kidding, but half not. You see, even when $$ is used on such extravagant things as this, it makes its way into the economy, via construction , interior decorators, supplies, etc.... which is all fine and dandy. However, when the bail out $$ was given to the banks by the Gov't, they essentially didn't limit on HOW the $$ was to be spent. And as is the case here, the bank spent the $$ as it best saw fit..... Rush is against any sort of bail out, which is his main point. Remarks as the above by him are simply his way of "entertaining " the audience.
