Download or read book Bailout? Baloney! written by Lou Lawrence and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BAILOUT? BALONEY! disputes the government claim of a bailout of the auto industry. Congress voted 52-35 "against" a bailout, and the Obama-Rattner study group actually drove Chrysler and General Motors into bankruptcy. Ford avoided bankruptcy by using a $23 billion bank loan for working capital. The loan was obtained in 2006 for restructuring and saved Ford during the recession. The 2008 recession caused auto sales to drop 40% and Detroit fell into a depression. The government caused the 2008 recession with the attempt to give home loans to everybody even though many could not afford a home. Legislation eliminated down payments and income verification for home mortgages, and many mortgages went into bankruptcy. Wall Street was near bankruptcy when its toxic mortgage bonds failed. When Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, the 2008 Great Housing Recession was underway. The government attempted to stem the recession by creating a $700 billion TARP fund for troubled assets. Financial institutions were bailed out with $600 billion, but the auto companies were denied a $35 billion loan. After Congress voted against a bailout, President Obama was the last resort. Instead of granting TARP funds to save Chrysler and GM, the president started a task force to further study the auto problem. The five-month Rattner study resulted in the bankruptcy of Chrysler and GM. There was no bailout, only bankruptcy. The government claim of a bailout is a complete falsehood, and how it can claim a bailout is a Washington spin on bankruptcy.
Book Synopsis Too Big to Fail Snafu by : Lou Lawrence
Download or read book Too Big to Fail Snafu written by Lou Lawrence and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2008 Great Housing Recession cost taxpayers $14 trillion, and the government has masked the cost. The government's "Too Big To Fail" idea went overboard and rewarded Wall Street culprits who caused the subprime mortgage disaster with bailout money. Unfortunately, Main Street was not included in the bailouts and 200,000 businesses went bankrupt. Despite the claim that the auto industry was bailed out, Chrysler and General Motors also were driven into bankruptcy - there was no automobile company bailout. The treatise covers the causes and effects of the financial crisis that Ben Bernanke, chair of the Federal Reserve, has called the worst economic period in world history, including the Great Depression of the 1930s. There were actually two major elements of the 2008 recession - the housing debacle, and the subprime mortgage mess. The combination created a $50 trillion worldwide financial breakdown. The government caused the housing element with legislation for affordable housing for minorities and low-income families. The attempt to give homes to everybody failed, and home ownership actually declined due to 15 million foreclosures. Wall Street took advantage of the increase in mortgages by creating mortgage bonds that included toxic subprime mortgages. When the new homeowners could not make the mortgage payments, the result was foreclosure. The 15 million foreclosures put an end to the mortgage backed securities and drove Wall Street, banks, and mortgage firms into bankruptcy.

Book excerpt: An engaging look at what led to the financial turmoil we now find ourselves in Bailout Nation offers one of the clearest looks at the financial lenders, regulators, and politicians responsible for the financial crisis of 2008. Written by Barry Ritholtz, one of today's most popular economic bloggers and a well-established industry pundit, this book skillfully explores how the United States evolved from a rugged independent nation to a soft Bailout Nation-where financial firms are allowed to self-regulate in good times, but are bailed out by taxpayers in bad times.

Download or read book Bailouts written by Robert E. Wright and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-04 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's financial crisis is the result of dismal failures on the part of regulators, market analysts, and corporate executives. Yet the response of the American government has been to bail out the very institutions and individuals that have wrought such havoc upon the nation. Are such massive bailouts really called for? Can they succeed? Robert E. Wright and his colleagues provide an unbiased history of government bailouts and a frank assessment of their effectiveness. Their book recounts colonial America's struggle to rectify the first dangerous real estate bubble and the British government's counterproductive response. It explains how Alexander Hamilton allowed central banks and other lenders to bail out distressed but sound businesses without rewarding or encouraging the risky ones. And it shows how, in the second half of the twentieth century, governments began to bail out distressed companies, industries, and even entire economies in ways that subsidized risk takers while failing to reinvigorate the economy. By peering into the historical uses of public money to save private profit, this volume suggests better ways to control risk in the future.

Book Synopsis The Housing Boom and Bust by : Thomas Sowell
Download or read book The Housing Boom and Bust written by Thomas Sowell and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2010-02-23 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a plain-English explanation of how we got into the current economic disaster that developed out of the economics and politics of the housing boom and bust. The "creative" financing of home mortgages and the even more "creative" marketing of financial securities based on American mortgages to countries around the world, are part of the story of how a financial house of cards was built up -- and then suddenly collapsed. The politics behind all this is another story full of strange twists. No punches are pulled when discussing politicians of either party, the financial dangers they created, or the distractions they created later to escape their own responsibility for what happened when the financial house of cards in the financial markets collapsed. What to do, now that we are in the midst of an economic disaster, is yet another story -- one whose ending we do not yet know, but one whose outlines and implications are explored to reveal some surprising and sobering lessons.

This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding how Congressional political parties utilize floor procedure to advance a legislative agenda is fundamental to understanding how Congress operates. This book offers students and researchers an in-depth understanding of the procedural tools available to congressional leaders and committee chairs and how those tools are implemented in the House of Representatives, the Senate, and during negotiations between the chambers. While other volumes provide the party or the procedural perspective, this book combines these two features to create a robust analysis of the role that party can play in making procedural decisions. Additionally, the contributors provide an opportunity to take a holistic look at Congress and understand the changing dynamics of congressional power and its implementation over time. The second edition of Party and Procedure in the United States Congress includes case studies and analyses of the changes and innovations that have occurred since 2012, including the “nuclear option.”
Download or read book 1984 Redux written by Andrew Curtiss and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: July, 2009; Andrew Curtiss received a Chain Mail in his E-Mail box. The Message was sent to him from a former colleague he served with in the US Army Special Forces at Fort Bragg North Carolina. The subject line of the message read "Congratulations you made the terrorist watch list!" The content suggested that the Department of Homeland Security had labled millions of Americans who are Constitutionalists, Pro Life, of Christian faith, voters for rightwing politics, are combat veterans and more; as potential domestic terrorists. After researching the matter Andrew found that the DHS did infact publish such a report that was meant to be confidential for law enforcement only. The report was published April 7, 2009. It was during Andrew's research into the matter that he realized the "Fundamental Transformation" of America as promised by Barrack Obama was indeed transforming America into something much like Oceania in George Orwell's "1984." 1984 Redux digs deep into the issues facing Americans today as America "Fundamentally Transforms." Curtiss draws the comparison of where Obama and his leftist handlers and drones want to take America as part of this transformation; to the extreme Socialist Oligarchy depicted in Orwell's "1984." Supported by scores of references and facts, one might be surprised to see how close to Orwell's nightmarish depiction America is headed. 1984 Redux is not only a wakeup call to America, but the world; as to what could be if the most influential nation in the world and "last hope for freedom" falls to the left.

Download or read book The Road to America's Economic Meltdown written by Raymond Beresford Hamilton and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story about one of our own, a US Army Sergeant who returns home after serving many years overseas. He had been to two different wars and, after 14 years overseas, this was to be his first duty assignment inside the United States. He encountered great difficulty from his home state when he tried to obtain his local driver's license, and only with the aid of a state senator, was he able to obtain his license. Then, when he went to register his car, in the new state where he was assigned, he noticed that he was being required to pay for unusual things before he was allowed to register his car. After going through all the local government's money making schemes, he, along with his wife and children, bought a house, using a mortgage, not far from where they were renting. They did so just in time to get caught up in the developing housing crisis that may affect his family's ability to hold on to their beautiful home. The sergeant had to do some quick thinking and find out everything he could about what was really going on; was there a conspiracy for the rich to get richer-at the expense of everyone else-was he the subject of predatory lending, and would his family suffer through the embarrassment of the foreclosure process? The sergeant began researching the history of land development, mortgaging, foreclosure, the economic crisis, and the government's involvement in all of this-and this is what he learned.
