Well... Some deals of 2008 with the Fed/Treasury were quite
suspicious, to say the least. Ben was working closely with
Hank, who was a tool. WS always was borderline criminal, as
greed changes people...

The MBS purchases were not all they handled.
There were also a bunch of guarantees on blown up derivatives
done by the treasury. Fed was unwinding AIG and other
sinkholes.

North of 20 Trillion, if my memory does not fail. However,
that is our country's debt. Not a 20 Trillion addition,
but some. Stuff that blew up. My guess would be hundreds
of billions, commensurate with the bailout "package"

Once again, I'd like to be a fly on the wall... I don't have
a clue how much printing is actually happening under cover
to monetize everything that blew up. Some of that stuff
got transferred to our country's debt, as Skeet correctly
noted, some was monetized. -NG-
The Fed will do what they can get away with? You can call
it criminal, but they will get away with it.

They sure DID get away with a lot...

Quite disturbing, yes.
