FDIC: Bank of America Borrowed $69 Billion in Taxpayer-Guaranteed Funds at Zero Percent During Financial Panic


The FDIC just released a report titled "Issuer Reported Debt Details" for the Debt Guarantee Program (DGP) portion of its Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP), which shows a total of $618 billion in debt was issued by banks that was ultimately guaranteed by US taxpayers. According to the FDIC's release:
"Under the DGP, the FDIC guaranteed debt that was issued between October 2008 and October 2009 by participants in the program. The guarantee expires at the end of this year, by which time almost all debt issued under the program will have matured. The information being disclosed includes for each registered issuance of FDIC guaranteed debt the: 1) issuer name; 2) CUSIP or other identifier; 3) issue date; 4) maturity date; 5) rate type; 6) interest/discount rate at issuance; 7) amount of unsecured debt; and 8) unsecured debt total fee."
EconomicPolicyJournal.com has analyzed the more than 9,500 bank debt issues disclosed by the FDIC.  It found that Bank of America, NA and its holding company, Bank of America Corporation borrowed over $111 billion, of which $69 billion was issued at zero percent (0%), the most of any bank at that rate.  


Other banks that were able to borrow at zero percent include Citigroup Funding (through Citibank, NA), General Electric Capital, Goldman Sachs Group and HSBC USA.  Of the largest borrowers, Merrill Lynch & Co. was able to finance nearly all of its $19.8 billion in debt at zero percent.

General Electric Capital was the single entity that borrowed the most pursuant to the FDIC-guaranteed program at $130.9 billion, though Citigroup Funding (a holding company) and Citibank, NA borrowed a combined total of $162.0 billion.  JP Morgan entities borrowed $42.5 billion and Goldman Sachs Group borrowed $37.5 billion.

  1. The Fed is privately owned by the very (TBTF) banks it bailed out. Our money is printed by a private banking cartel which loans it to our country at interest, which we, the people, are expected to pay back. Until this issue is publicized and dealt with by abolishing the Fed and printing our own money at no interest (via the U.S. Treasury, as the Constitution stipulates) our country is in dire danger, as the banks have taken over our Congress. These imposters, print up OUR money, loan it to OUR government, which gives it back to THEM, yet, we the people incur the debt, principle plus interest.

    MONUMENTAL GREED. The TBTF Banks that own the so-called 'Fed', have decided to print themselves TRILLIONS of $$ (at least $20 TRILLION), yet, somehow, we the people must pay it back to the government, at interest?
