Where's the Money, Assholes?

Seriously though... I'm about to get straight gangster as a result of our dwindled economy, all of these "bailouts" and "stimulus" packages, and what these mother fuckers are actually doing with our money. Why, you ask? Well... where is all of this money really going!? As an average citizen I just wonder, who exactly is divvying up this $700 billion dollar Troubled Asset Relief Program and who's to say it isn't going to be abused in some way? I mean how many instances have we already heard and read about of banks and other institutions receiving their check from the government and turning to their friends saying, "YES! Let's fucking PARTAAYY!!" It makes me sick to know that people can be so GREEDY. I'm sitting here trying to pay back a student loan to a lender who can add additional interest called, "interest during repayment period" on top of the initial interest on the loan! In the end, if I were to pay my loan just as they have scheduled, by the time I am done I will have paid more in interest than what my actual loan was. So on top of the money that these banks and lenders are getting from us in interest, they get government bailouts and throw parties. Our financial system is so fucked up! Yes, I love Obama just as much as everyone else, but he had better firmly regulate where all of this money is going or else we will never get out of this mess.
