Guest[quote=Veritas]Sorry Brian, cannot not explain without being involved in a flamewar and I think that is what you want. Draw your own conclusions and think what you want. Rich has made it clear and I enjoy posting here, so I refuse to fight with you about where the tax dollars went or why or who authorized it.[/quote]
So you cannot explain how the Fed’s discount window is related to Obama without a flamewar?
I think that most of us here know how the Fed generally operates. The Fed manages the money supply independent of the executive.
The credit available at the discount window is not tax dollars.
Note the time period during which discount window lending peaked.
Lending through the discount window soared to a peak of $111 billion on Oct. 29, 2008, as credit markets nearly froze in the wake of the bankruptcy on Sept. 15, 2008, of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. While the loans provided banks with backstop cash, the public has never known which banks borrowed or why. Fed officials say all the loans made through the program during the crisis have been repaid with interest.
Also note the Dodd-Frank law is providing for more transparency and disclosure on loans extended on or after July 21, 2010. So there’s progress in that regard. Prior to the Bloomberg lawsuit, the information was not disclosed.
8. Does the Federal Reserve disclose the identity of institutions that borrow from the discount window?
Yes. In accordance with the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Pub. L. No. 111-203), the Federal Reserve has changed its practices with respect to disclosure of discount window lending information. Effective for discount window loans (primary, secondary, and seasonal credit) extended on or after July 21, 2010, the Federal Reserve will publicly disclose the following information, generally about two years after a discount window loan is extended to a depository institution:
The name and identifying details of the depository institution;
The amount borrowed by the depository institution;
The interest rate paid by the depository institution; and
Information identifying the types and amounts of collateral pledged in connection with any discount window loan. This disclosure requirement does not apply to collateral pledged by depository institutions that do not borrowhttp://www.frbdiscountwindow.org/dwfaqs.cfm?hdrID=14&dtlID=75#ps8
You can also look at the period for which data was released, March 2008 – 2009 thanks to the Bloomberg lawsuit. Please explain how Obama was involved, as he had barely taken office.
