Headline DS #69 - Big Banks May Need More Help

"Big Banks May Need More Help" is from the April 20, 2009 edition of the Express. You know, at some point, unless we want to federalize all the failing banks, some of them are just going to have to fail. Period. Distributed by Tubemogul.

Headline DS Edition #51 - Bank Rescue May Cost $1T

"Bank Rescue May Cost $1T" is from the March 23, 2009 edition of the Express. The Obama administration wants to create a new government agency, the Public-Private Investment Program, that would be tasked with buying up toxic assets. The price tag could total up to $1 trillion. That's a lot of zeros. I've never understood how the government can spend money when it owes so much in the first place. I'm a bit uncomfortable with using tax payer money to buy up bad loans, but I honestly don't know what would work at this point.

Headline DS Edition #37 - Fat Cat Stress Test

http://www.headlineds.com -- "19 Banks to be Given 'Stress Tests'" is from the February 26, 2009 edition of the Express. I always picture banks as unwieldy, greedy fat cats. They have yet to prove otherwise. Distributed by Tubemogul.

Headline DS Edition #32 - Banking Fat Cat

http://www.headlineds.com -- "Housing Plan a Windfall for Banks" is from the February 19, 2009 edition of the Express. *sigh* So now banks will get paid to give people a break on their mortgage. Great. Give the institutions that screwed us in the first place even more money. No kids, it really doesn't pay to follow the rules. Distributed by Tubemogul.
