Thom Hartmann: Conversations w/Great Minds - Neil Barofsky - TARP - An Inside Account P1



Neil Barofsky, former special inspector-general of the TARP & author "Bailout: An Inside Account of How Washington Abandoned Main Street While Rescuing Wall Street," joins Thom Hartmann. In 2008, we were all told TARP was needed to prevent a Great Depression. Instead - TARP funds have made the big banks richer - and given them an even greater feeling of invincibility. So how was this allowed to happen?

thank you so very much for this interview. I'm one of those victims he talks about..and my industry is a victim..and there was not a damned thing anyone could do about it. Many of us knew what was up as we tried to navigate thru their loan mod process..what a joke..and now a book from a TARP inspector general confirming what we knew...anyway.
