Cost Of Bailout Hits A Whopping $24 Trillion Dollars
$80,000 for every American
By Paul Joseph Watson,
PrisonPlanet.com,
July 20, 2009
  According to the watchdog overseeing the federal government’s financial bailout program, the full exposure since 2007 amounts to a whopping $23.7 trillion dollars, or $80,000 for every American citizen.
  Meanwhile, Henry Paulson, one of the chief architects of the bailout and the man who committed financial terrorism by threatening the Congress with martial law and food riots if they didn’t pass the initial TARP package, brazenly pockets $200,000 in Goldman Sachs profits tax free while handing out billions in ill-gotten gains to his bankster buddies, all this after he pulled a bait and switch by changing the entire focus of the bailout from buying up toxic debt to giving money directly to financial institutions.
Picture
  That's a lot of miniature water bottles to keep us hydrated as the fraudulent financiers of the odious debt make us sweat for less and less.  Because derivatives have not been outlawed and made worthless as they should be, the debt hole down which we fall is being dug faster than we are falling.  When they choose to stop digging and the country hits bottom, we will end up all the flatter.  In a capitalist economy the foundation of wealth is private production.  The more products are sold, the more money is made.  The various bailouts demonstrate that the product has become debt-based fiat money and credit issued with strings attached by the corporate, fascist Fed-owned state.  Will such bailouts be successful?  Can a leopard change its stripes?

US cities may have to be bulldozed in order to survive
By Tom Leonard,
London Telegraph, June 12, 2009
The Obama administration is considering a solution to 'economic decline' which would blatantly waste the valuable labor and materials put into real estate.  At the root of this legalized cannibalism is the cynical materialism of elitists and bankers who know they can drive up property values if they drive down the number of valuable properties.  This is why they are more frequently foreclosing on properties, declining negotiation with the borrower, and often 'call in' mortgage notes (demanding payment in full), causing the property to lay vacant, then deteriorate, become condemned and go back to the possession of the city (banker-owned government).  Why else would the federal government want to downsize cities?  Maybe it will be discovered that the administration promised to put in his cabinet a former lobbyist or board member of Coleman and some multinational cardboard box manufacturer.

By Glenn Somerville, Reuters, June 1, 2009
His answer drew loud laughter from his student audience, reflecting scepticism in China about the wisdom of a developing country accumulating a vast stockpile of foreign reserves instead of spending the money to raise living standards at home.
China is coming to realize it's wise to spend 'dollars' while they still have some value.  Unfortunately, we are all forced to do the same as the planned crash seems inevitable.  Fortunately the dollar is a fixed unit of measure unlike the Federal Reserve Note, a piece of paper indicating debt used to discharge obligation to the  private fed  since the de facto corporate-owned

government no longer accepts lawful money (see 12 USC 152), "gold and silver coin of the United States," to pay debt as was possible pre-1933.  The fed thinks they own us because we have been living by virtue of real and personal property redeemed by their debt-based notes and credit system.  Other than what China allows to be stolen by its  delay in spending its declining 'dollars,' what property of China's could the fed actually seize?

U.S. Taxpayers Risk $9.7 Trillion on Bailout Programs
Mark Pittman and Bob Ivry, Bloomberg, May 9, 2009

  The stimulus package the U.S. Congress is completing would raise the government’s commitment to solving the financial crisis to $9.7 trillion, enough to pay off more than 90 percent of the nation’s home mortgages. The Federal Reserve, Treasury Department and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have lent or spent almost $3 trillion over the past two years and pledged up to $5.7 trillion more. The Senate is to vote this week on an economic-stimulus measure of at least $780 billion. It would need to be reconciled with an $819 billion plan the House approved last month.
  Only the stimulus bill to be approved this week, the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program passed four months ago and $168 billion in tax cuts and rebates enacted in 2008 have been voted on by lawmakers. The remaining $8 trillion is in lending programs and guarantees, almost all under the Fed and FDIC. Recipients’ names have not been disclosed.
  “We’ve seen money go out the back door of this government unlike any time in the history of our country,” Senator Byron Dorgan, a North Dakota Democrat, said on the Senate floor Feb. 3. “Nobody knows what went out of the Federal Reserve Board, to whom and for what purpose. How much from the FDIC? How much from TARP? When? Why?”

Financial Rescue
  The pledges, amounting to almost two-thirds of the value of everything produced in the U.S. last year, are intended to rescue the financial system after the credit markets seized up about 18 months ago. The promises are composed of about $1 trillion in stimulus packages, around $3 trillion in lending and spending and $5.7 trillion in agreements to provide aid. The total already tapped has decreased about 1 percent since November, mostly because foreign central banks are using fewer dollars in currency-exchange agreements called swaps.
  Federal Reserve lending to banks peaked at a record $2.3 trillion in December, dropping to $1.83 trillion by last week. The Fed balance sheet is still more than double the $880 billion it was in the week before Sept. 17 when it agreed to accept lower-quality collateral.
  The worst financial crisis in two generations has erased $14.5 trillion, or 33 percent, of the value of the world’s companies since Sept. 15; brought down Bear Stearns Cos. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.; and led to the takeover of Merrill Lynch & Co. by Bank of America Corp.
  The $9.7 trillion in pledges would be enough to send a $1,430 check to every man, woman and child alive in the world. It’s 13 times what the U.S. has spent so far on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to Congressional Budget Office data, and is almost enough to pay off every home mortgage loan in the U.S., calculated at $10.5 trillion by the Federal Reserve.

‘All the Stops’
  “The Fed, Treasury and FDIC are pulling out all the stops to stop any widespread systemic damage to the economy,” said Dana Johnson, chief economist for Comerica Inc. in Dallas and a former senior economist at the central bank. “The federal government is on the hook for an awful lot of money but I think it’s needed to help the financial system recover.”
  Bloomberg News tabulated data from the Fed, Treasury and FDIC and interviewed regulators, economists and academic researchers to gauge the full extent of the government’s rescue effort.
  Commitments may expand again soon. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner postponed until tomorrow an announcement that may invite private investment as a way to clear toxic debt from bank balance sheets. Measures that have been settled include a new round of injections of taxpayer funds into banks, targeted at those identified by regulators as most in need of additional capital, people briefed on the matter said.

Program Delay
  The government is already backing $301 billion of Citigroup Inc. securities and another $118 billion from Bank of America. The government hasn’t yet paid out on any of the guarantees.
  The Fed said Friday that it is delaying the start a $200 billion program called the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, or TALF, to revive the market for securities based on consumer loans such as credit-card, auto and student borrowings.
  Most of the spending programs are run out of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, where Geithner served as president. He was sworn in as Treasury secretary on Jan. 26.
  When Congress approved the TARP on Oct. 3, Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and then Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson acknowledged the need for transparency and oversight. The Federal Reserve so far is refusing to disclose loan recipients or reveal the collateral they are taking in return. Collateral is an asset pledged by a borrower in the event a loan payment isn’t made.

Fed Sued
  Bloomberg requested details of Fed lending under the Freedom of Information Act and filed a federal lawsuit against the central bank Nov. 7 seeking to force disclosure of borrower banks and their collateral. Arguments in the suit may be heard as soon as this month, according to the court docket. Bloomberg asked the Treasury in an FOIA request Jan. 28 for a detailed list of the securities it planned to guarantee for Citigroup and Bank of America. Bloomberg hasn’t received a response to the request.
  The Bloomberg lawsuit is Bloomberg LP v. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 08-CV-9595, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
