And we did this in a more indirect manner by having the Fed engineer these super-low interest rates that were a transfer from savers to the financial system. Economist Ed Kane said that basically savers lost $300 billion in income a year. So that reduction of income right there, you see today.

a lot of people have a general sense of the bailout, but most people don't realize how blatant of a transfer of wealth the interest rate policy described above really was.

absolutely fukking insane. a literal license to print money.

Bernanke, Geithner and Paulson should be in fukking prison for the rest of their lives, but instead they're writing articles for the New York Crimes while enveloped in a protective bubble of respectability by our mainstream "thought leaders"...what a wonderful world
