Ratigan Nails It

Not sure if you have had a chance to watch Dylan Ratigan on MSNBC. Unfortunately, I don’t get to see his show as much as I would like due to its 4pm air time. He is one of the few talking heads that seems to understand the big picture as it relates to how Wall Street with the government’s complicit endorsement is robbing the average American. Ratigan use to anchor shows on CNBC, but I imagine his telling it like it is didn’t sit well with the cheerleaders on the business channel.  Below is a clip from his show where he mocks the government’s claim that the banks don’t owe America anything else since they have repaid the TARP funds. Most Americans don’t realize that TARP is a drop in the bucket compared to the piggy bank at the Fed. I don’t know how Ratigan got the $23 Trillion number, but I do know that the Fed window dwarfs the TARP, TALF, and all those other abbreviated bailout programs.
