Talking about the banks taking tax payer’s money. If you can spare twenty minutes to watch this 2014 talk by Mr Brian s. Wesbury he makes a good argument in my opinion as to whether the FED implementing QE actually helped the economy. His graph showing the points QE and TARP came in to force and the response in the markets is interesting to say the least. The worst part of the GFC came well after TARP was implemented!
