U.S. Payrolls Gain More-Than-Expected 200,000; Jobless Rate Falls to 8.5%

Oh my. We have some learning to dish out. GSE's. Government Sponsored Enterprises. Federal backing was implicit in their charters. Such was only changed "after" the bubble burst, however, we are still bailing them out. Virtually all the other "banks", such as Citi and BOA, have paid back their TARP loans. FF have paid back nothing, and will not pay back one penny. They are still being bailed out.

They are most certainly "not the same". :roll:

Indeed you do have some learning to do. The GSEs were privatized in 1968. Do you know what implicit means? It means not explicit, as in, not in the charters, as in, merely assumed.

Then call your Congressperson !! We're still bailing them out !!

TARP was loans. Most of them now paid back. The money to FF is not a loan. And they got far more than any other. And they are going to get more.

This is pathetic.

TARP was not loans, TARP was asset purchases. Yes, most all have been paid back WITH dividends and warrants (net profit to the US taxpayer). FF and AIG remain the only major losses with FF receiving more funds from the federal government than all the other banks combined.

Nice to have someone chime in who knows what they are talking about ........... finally ! In the end, as you note, TARP money is mostly paid back. And we will never get a penny of FF back. In fact, they are expected to get close to another $100 B before it is all done.

But the libs tell us that we are not to believe our lying eyes. :roll:
