He says the government made no money on the bailouts for the 2008 financial crisis but in fact the TARP program, in which the government invested in banks to avoid failures, made a $15 billion profit when the government cashed in their equity. I wish the moderator had set him straight. I thought the truth about TARP was well known.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
