Breakdown of the Fed's $13.9 Trillion Commitment

With thanks to Calculated Risk who published this table earlier, here is a breakdown of the Fed's $13.9 Trillion Commitment as published in the FDIC Summer 2009 Supervisory Insights.

Government Support for Financial Assets and Liabilities Announced in 2008 and Soon Thereafter ($ in billions)
Important note: Amounts are gross loans, asset and liability guarantees and asset purchases, do not represent net cost to taxpayers, do not reflect contributions of private capital expected to accompany some programs, and are announced maximum program limits so that actual support may fall well short of these levels

Tell the Truth or Shut Up

I have a request for Geithner and Bernanke: Tell the truth or shut up.

Both Geithner and Bernanke maintain that banks are well capitalized. Indeed many banks are returning TARP funds. However, if banks are well capitalized then why not cancel the remaining $7 Trillion of this taxpayer ripoff right now? Pray tell, what's the need to go ahead with the PPIP?

Ben and Tim, please stop saying that taxpayers will not lose money on these schemes. You know, I know and the whole world knows that is a preposterous lie. Please come out and say you really do not give a damn about taxpayers because we all know that you don't. This is a taxpayer sponsored bank bailout, no more no less.

If you cannot give an honest assessment (and the whole world knows you can't), then please stop your disgusting, phony charades and fake transparency efforts.
