Bush's Big Bank Bailout

by Cliff Kincaid

But Paulson’s answer was similar to Bush’s. He said that “on the one hand, you’ve got a moral hazard. On the other, you’ve got what’s right for the markets, what’s right for the stability of the financial system, the U.S. economy.” He said that “All of these situations are situation-specific, depending on what’s going on in the markets at the time. You’re jumping to a conclusion about what the cost is going to be to U.S. taxpayers.”.......

The Fed Packages Corruption as Sound Public Policy

David Sirota writes for Creators Syndicate, "If you are a banking executive whose risky loans go bad, your industry's campaign donations get you Big Boy Bailout-ism that makes taxpayers 'take the bad loans off the banks' books,' as one financial analyst gushed this week. If you are a regular Joe who can't pay your home loan, you get foreclosed on."

The Gentlemen's Bailout

The Nation's editorial team writes, "The Federal Reserve's announcement of an open-ended bailout for Wall Street's endangered financial firms and banks opens an ominous new chapter in what might be called 'market socialism with American characteristics.'"
