You mean the Feds and Obama has spread out America's wealth? What's that called again?
Funny thing to see the American people surprised at their debt, as if they didn't know before, as if this is something new and not a progression for decades.
Same as the Greeks now who are mad at their politicians, but they weren't mad when the loaned billions were spent and whole Greece had a lifestyle they simply couldn't afford.
We have a saying: "But you didn't cry when you ate the meatballs, did you?"
and you think we all got some of those meatballs?
and I'm not crying i'm trying to help pass info on our government findings of an audit of the federal reserve, and not about our debt........
The Fed isn't spreading out wealth. Neither is O, but he is really an insignificant character in the big picture IMO.You mean the Feds and Obama has spread out America's wealth? What's that called again?
Yes, you all ate from the meatballs, some ate more, some less, but you were generally happy, or at least I didn't hear the screams until 2008. Part of the debts are always spent on the population to stay happy, this way the rulers grant the silence of the masses.
And yes, now I see that I confused the national debt with these loans to corporations. The numbers are similar, give or take $2 trillion And Fed seem to be gracefully giving away loans to more entities than expected, seems like the USA are small for their ambitions...
and any of this is true because???
(1) you want it to be true.
(2) you read it on the net.
The "official" number of the secret loan is $7.7 tril. I'm not sure where the $16 tril comes from. 1.5 tril on a single day. The banksters skimmed 13 bil off of this. Paid themselves nice bonuses and left us with the bill.The Federal Reserve and the big banks fought for more than two years to keep details of the largest bailout in U.S. history a secret. Now, the rest of the world can see what it was missing.
The Fed didn’t tell anyone which banks were in trouble so deep they required a combined $1.2 trillion on Dec. 5, 2008, their single neediest day. Bankers didn’t mention that they took tens of billions of dollars in emergency loans at the same time they were assuring investors their firms were healthy. And no one calculated until now that banks reaped an estimated $13 billion of income by taking advantage of the Fed’s below-market rates, Bloomberg Markets magazine reports in its January issue.
Saved by the bailout, bankers lobbied against government regulations, a job made easier by the Fed, which never disclosed the details of the rescue to lawmakers even as Congress doled out more money and debated new rules aimed at preventing the next collapse.
A fresh narrative of the financial crisis of 2007 to 2009 emerges from 29,000 pages of Fed documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act and central bank records of more than 21,000 transactions. While Fed officials say that almost all of the loans were repaid and there have been no losses, details suggest taxpayers paid a price beyond dollars as the secret funding helped preserve a broken status quo and enabled the biggest banks to grow even bigger.
Here is the greatest part of that article that so many people miss. Many don't know what the FED is much less this "loan" or it's consequences.While Fed officials say that almost all of the loans were repaid and there have been no losses, details suggest taxpayers paid a price beyond dollars as the secret funding helped preserve a broken status quo and enabled the biggest banks to grow even bigger.
you know what yoss33 if you don't like us thats fine, but considering that your country gets help from the US government then you ate some too!
you see this money went to banks all over the world brother!
Hey man, I like all people all around the world, it's not that I don't like you Don't get my post as an attack on Americans.
Perhaps you are right that I too benefit from the trillions, we all have done and that's the magic of the system - the injected money make all people happy but to some unfair degree... while subtly stealing from the value of everything.
Americans are the last of the 6 billion people on Earth to be unhappy about Fed printing and giving away so much money. Most of these overvalued papers go to Americans and American corporations (as can be seen from this audit) and you have papers to buy goods produced in other countries without producing anything in return. You just get in debt. A sweet drug this is.
