Wall Street Aristocracy Got $1.2 Trillion From Fed

By Bradley Keoun and Phil Kuntz - Aug 22, 2011

The largest borrower, Morgan Stanley (MS), got as much as $107.3 billion, while Citigroup took $99.5 billion and Bank of America $91.4 billion, according to a Bloomberg News compilation of data obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests, months of litigation and an act of Congress.

Almost half of the Fed’s top 30 borrowers, measured by peak balances, were European firms.

Which is why we shouldn't tax them, either, amirite CARL?

Without a doubt, Ron Paul.

I came to realize why so many young people are into Ron Paul. He's a freak!

Think about it....you meet some dude who is a liberal. Clear as day. But he supports Ron Paul for President. Why? Ron Paul matches that anti- big Government attitude...but then counters that conservatism with a liberal viewpoint on foreign policy. Maybe it was conservative in the Republican party 70 years ago...but it isn't anymore. Young people tend to be anti-war, activist types and Paul caters to them.

How is it anti-big government to support outright projecting our own government into other countries?

Naso is just projecting. He loves 'humanitarian intervention,' nation-building, foreign aid, etc. He's also super apologetic about 'racism' and obsessed with bending over backwards to help a tiny little socialist ethnocracy just because the people in the media (double irony) said he should be. He doesn't understand what a conservative actually is or what having pride in your people and culture actually entails. Conservatism to him isn't even having a preference for FOX over CNN.. It's basically just having a preference for Family Ties over Seinfeld.

Is anyone else vaguely amazed that he hasn't managed to drown himself in a toilet yet?

Who'd put an apple in the fridge?

Since it's Bushie, there's a good chance that the "apple" he'd get would be pre-cored and sliced for "convenience" at the store.

I feel pretty confident that this is how Bushie prefers his apples.

I find the hyperfeminist internet virgins to be the most insufferable.

As an insufferable internet sexist and bigot, memphis has no high ground from which to find anybody else insufferable, except maybe somebody like Cory.

While I agree that memphis certainly has a whole bunch of unexamined sexism going on, I'm not sure where "bigot" enters into the equation.

Memphis, generally an ignoramus, hates religion and the religious.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. It's not, perhaps, quite as bad as some other types of bigotry, in that religion is in theory something that can be chosen (and is chosen, for many people), but it's still a type of bigotry.

YEah, and the fact that he continues to refer to people who look like this:



as "him".

I mean really, if you aren't going to call memphis out for bigotry opebo, at least call him an idiot.

Looks can be deceiving, Mechaman. Surely, you're wise enough to have figured that out.

How insular of you, Lief. Traveling up the Hudson Valley is a truly glorious experience, particularly during fall color season (in my opinion, the most beautiful river valley in the US, going away). Just take the train to Albany; it runs right along the river. My duplex pad is just four blocks from the train station. That was one of its attractions.

You get a good view of Bannerman's Castle from the train, or so I've heard.  I'd love to see that some day.



I'm guessing that's the train in the background?

Meh, mountains in the East are so unimpressive....
