But... But... We were told many times by the pop media that there was a "profit" coming from the bailouts!

As Zaphod Beeblebrox would say, "What gives, what gives, what gives, what gives, WHAT GIVES?!"

Ahh, perhaps the discrepency lies in the pop media "reporters" acting as shills for statism. Perhaps they should have listened to our audios from months ago refuting their claims of "profit". WE new months ago that their reports, mentioning that "of the 11% what has been paid back, there has been a return of 4% in interest", blithely overlooked the fact that 89% of the bailouts had not been repaid. So the pop reporters were trying to make it look good, sort of like saying, "well, we loaned 100 dollars to our neighbor, and he's only repaid, um, 11%, plus a small amount of interest. So, despite the fact that we're still in the red, we'll concentrate on that tiny amount of interest and call it a PROFIT! We've made a PROFIT! YEAH! That's it!"

Insane. Now, months after anyone with a critical mind could see it, the AP reports it. Someone dust those guys off, okay?
