What Would You Do with a Spare $100 Million?

Andrew Hall has a contract with Citigroup. Mr. Hall is one of the oil speculators who benefited from the shrewd manipulation of the oil markets last year that helped drive the price of gasoline and home heating oil above $4 a gallon, playing a significant part in Bush's economic meltdown of the world economy. Citigroup can afford to pay Mr. Hall his money, but ONLY if it can use part of the $45 billion it got from the taxpayer bailout.

In short, Mr. Hall will get super nasty rich when you taxpayers pay him off with your tax money after he helped manipulated you into double-digit unemployment. No wonder people like Mr. Hall voted for George W. Bush and donated to his campaign funds. (See The New York Times' story.)

(This has been another story devoted to the memory of the man who spent eight years in the White House playing pocket-pool while the world burned.)
