Political Factoid

Primary Dealer Credit Facility (PDCF) Money
 
The Federal Reserve lent a total of about $8.95 trillion to primary dealers of government securities.
Six banks got over 98% of that money:
  • Bank of America
  • Citigroup
  • Goldman Sachs
  • Morgan Stanley
  • JPMorgan
  • Barclays
Aren't those the same banks who's CEOs got record bonuses during the economic recession following the Bush years in the White House?
