The “messiah” ,
“There will be no more tax-funded bailouts — period,”
Money grows on trees ping!
This is Bernake bailing out the federal government, inronically.
And this helps. How?
The friggin FED and bankers are extremely jittery knowing that the jig is up!
We’ve been under foot of both these oppressive entities for far too long!
The American people are getting robbed and don’t even know it!
This is insanity.
They’ve stood there and fired all their bullets, to no effect. And the elephant keeps bearing down hard on them. Now, they can only swing the empty rifle like a club as it takes the last few steps to impact.
Bizarro World is upon us. Up is down. Bad is good. Deficit is profit. thanks DIMs, RINOs and LIBs. Thanks.
lol

More like Goldman Sax taking more possesion of the Government.
China no longer interested in our debt?
Gee, I wonder why...
RE :”And this helps. How?”
Short term it lowers interest rates, or keeps them at record lows. This is a temporary stimulus. In the short term it increases GDP, in the longer term it causes problems. We saw that in 2002-2005 (Greenspan) resulting in 2007-2008 blowup although public debt was lower and so the fed didnt have to directly buy treasuries. The future looks really bad.
Like using your Mastercard to pay off your Visa.
“Bizarro World is upon us. Up is down. Bad is good. Deficit is profit. thanks DIMs, RINOs and LIBs. Thanks.”
This is not going to be a easy fix.
Pushing on a string won’t do a damn thing. Everything and everyone is in suspended animation. November 2 may be a breakout rally though.
Monetizing our debt will not end well for us, our children or grandchildren.
You are watching the death spiral of our government. It begins with our government raiding the treasury and ends in a very bad place.
“There will be no more tax-funded bailouts — period,”
I wish I could be confident of that. I was reminded again just yesterday that we managed to squash the TARP bailout initially, only to have it rise like Lazarus a few days later with some media panic and some shady backroom deals.
With what, his good looks?? Maybe Bernanke hasn't heard but, we're broke!!!
