Also, if anything, Obama and Congress saved you a bunch of money by extending the Bush tax cuts... ;) PS - We need a "Troll face" smiley on this board... |
All I know is, if some political twit comes to my door campaigning, he/she is likely to get the Silence of the Lambs treatment.

No. I am going to throw them in a pit in my cellar. Then I am going to skin them and make a tasteful suit (double breasted) out of their hide.

Treasury Completes Wind Down of Mortgage-Backed Securities Investment, Generates $25 Billion Positive Return for Taxpayers 3/19/2012 WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced the completion of the orderly wind down of its agency-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities (MBS) portfolio, which it acquired as part of its response to the financial crisis. Overall, Treasury’s MBS portfolio generated a positive return of $25 billion for taxpayers. Treasury invested $225 billion in MBS during 2008 and 2009 through authority provided to it by Congress under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. These MBS purchases helped preserve access to mortgage credit during a period of unprecedented market stress. Overall, taxpayers received total cash returns of $250 billion from this MBS portfolio through sales, principal, and interest – $25 billion more than their initial investment.

The U.S. government has awarded appliance-maker Philips $10 million for devising an “affordable” alternative to today’s standard 60-watt incandescent bulb. That standard bulb sells for around $1. The Philips alternative sells for $50. Of course, the award-winner is no ordinary bulb. It uses only one-sixth the energy of an incandescent. And it lasts 30,000 hours–about 30 times as long. In fact, if you don’t drop it, it may last 10 years or more. But only the U.S. Government (in this case, the Department of Energy) could view a $50 bulb as cheap. http://danieljmitchell.files.wordpre...ions.jpg?w=500 http://danieljmitchell.files.wordpre...pg?w=500&h=429 |
Women want equality, to be payed the same as men for doing the same work. Excellent. If a marriage doesn't work out that sucks, really. But why the F*CK should that entitle somebody to their exes cash? (not talking about child support). |

Mindbender: US Treasury making a $25 billion "profit for taxpayers" is equivalent to "taxing $25 billion out of the private sector." Someone subtract avg inflation over those 3 years from 3.8% - how many percentage points does that leave us with? I wonder how much provit a decently run private company could make with $225 billion - surely, they wouldn't be able to beat that percentage above!! Way to go government!! |

The difference is that they bought those bonds at a discount and made a profit - essentially removing $25 billion from the private sector. It was the equivalent of tightening monetary policy from that perspective.

Your theory is supported by that article actually, Foogy, and I agree with it tbh.
You'll note the article was about effects, and not causes. |
