WASHINGTON, Nov 25 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve, in another massive life-support intervention for the U.S. financial system, on Tuesday announced a $600 billion program to buy mortgage-related debt and securities and a $200 billion facility to buy consumer debt securities,
Another bail out of equal size in an attempt to bring the US economy back from the dead. Citibank was also granted $100B earlier this week.
White House officials say bailouts are, and I paraphrase, 'to bring the patient back to life. Diet and exercise comes afterwards, the paddles come now.'
