Stiglitz, Atrios and the Geithner Plan

Reproduction d'un post d'Atrios sur le "Geithner Plan" (que le blogo condamne avec force btw mais j'y reviendrai):

Robbery

Stiglitz:


The U.S. government is basically using the taxpayer to guarantee against downside risk on the value of these assets, while giving the upside, or potential profits, to private investors, he said.

"Quite frankly, this amounts to robbery of the American people. I don't think it's going to work because I think there'll be a lot of anger about putting the losses so much on the shoulder of the American taxpayer."


I think he's wrong that anger will matter. The Banksters own the country now.
