One of the biggest secrets of the financial crisis was disclosed Thursday when the Federal Reserve released thousands of pages of data showing heavy discount-window borrowing by foreign banks, regional U.S. banks and institutions fighting for survival.

It was the first time the Fed has given details about banks that borrowed from the central bank's oldest emergency-lending facility. Thursday's move was forced by lawsuits filed by Bloomberg LP's Bloomberg News and News Corp.'s Fox Business Network, and last year's Dodd-Frank law requires the Fed to disclose future borrowings after a two-year lag. Details of other rescue programs by the Fed ...

2. When your ass can walk up to the discount window and say give me 100 billion dollars because I want

it and then you're allowed to get away with this http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x832447

Well it means your ass should be torked is what it means if you're not GE and getting away with not having to pay taxes but instead get a rebate. That is tax payer fucking money they waltzed for at that window.

9. And don't have a subscription to the WSJ..

Stupid question 1. Was money given to foreign banks because someone realized that they had bought toxic junk from Wall Street in the mortgage-backed-securities?

Or maybe... why did the banks run out of money?

Really shows the depth of my misunderstanding of this issue, and I appreciate any help given.. :)

3. Now remember, they are going to push the very idea that these 'kinds

of things' are so dam complex...well shit, it costs WAAAYYYY to much to litigate ALL (but specifically certain damage by selected parties) the damage done to the economy and the consumers will pick up the bill...muahahahahha (evil dick cheney laugh). At least the citizenry still obeys the law. Lead by reverse example.
