Those in favor of higher taxes and more government intervention
Here are two comparable situations. One run by the government, one by private companies. Which has the better result?
Government run - Fannie Mae loss widens, asks taxpayers for $7.8B - Yahoo! News Privately run Treasury: 99% of TARP investments paid back HousingWire |
Plus the Execs at Fannie and Freddie are getting bonuses... Occupy THAT!!!

Dumb analysis.

Banks are leveraging new loan programs to receive close to interest-free loans from the Treasury and then using those loans to pay the Treasury back for TARP. So yeah on the Balance Sheet, banks can say that TARP has been paid back, but that's just because they brought on debts to the government under a different name. This is from June 2011 but it is the process still being used. Banks tap fund to repay TARP - Boston.com So, I'd be skeptical before giving "private institutions" too much credit. Fannie Mae isn't really doing much different than the private banks - both are insolvent without being handed taxpayer money. |
