Things are getting better right? The “green shoots” are starting to “bear fruit”. The mighty bail outs have worked! I mean come on, last winter CITI paid back their loans, GM’s President just did a commercial saying that, “repaid our government loan, in full, with interest, five years ahead of the original schedule.“ The Dow is up above 11,000 today when it was down to 6600 in March of 2009. Everything is wonderful right? Not so fast!
Join me today as we discuss…
- Did GM really pay back the American people “with interest”, NO!
- Did CITI really make good out its piece of the bailout, NO!
- The hidden bail out, free, well almost free money
- One of the “hidden bail outs” – Interest Rate Swaps
- Another hidden bail out – cheap money for the banks – so they can counterfeit more
- Who will really pay the cost of “Financial Reform of Wall Street”
- What does the Financial Reform Bill Actually Say
- Obama says debt is cancer, well after racking up trillions of dollars of it
- Why nothing has changed or will change when it comes to US debt
