16. According to the audit that Bernie Sanders demanded and got

The Federal Reserve paid out some fifteen to sixteen trillion to the Biggest Banks in the world. All of which have been sitting on the money.

It is estimated that some 4.7 trillion dollars of this "loaned" money will never ever be repaid.

That could have funded a Single Payer Universal Health Care System that would have taken care of every last one of us for over twenty five years! Or run the state of California for 66 years, without the state needing a penny of revenue from its citizens. (37 million people live in Calif - which is why it is such an expensive state to run.)

If the Republicans ans the Democrats that are complicit with them really want to get tough regarding the deficit, they should demand the immediate repayment of these 4.7 trillion dollars. (Oh and by the way, Geithner refused to friggin' loan the state of California some 20 billion dollars - as he claimed that it would hurt the Federal deficit. Actually, the money would have enabled the state to keep so many people employed that the taxes from these people would have helped for such a recovery that the 20 billion would not have been noticeable.) It is tragic that the deficit excuse is used to cut jobs, but when the bankers need to have surpluses in the bank vaults, trillions of dollar loans are A-Okay!
