    The program is part of a worldwide effort to help struggling banks and mortgage providers. The Fed -- acting in concert with the European Central Bank, the Bank of Canada and the Swiss National Bank -- agreed to loan banks money in exchange for debt that includes slumping mortgage-backed securities.

    The Fed's latest move was seen as a direct boost to struggling banks by avoiding having to dramatically slash interest rates when the central bank's policymaking Open Market Committee meets next week. Economists continued to be concerned about the unrelenting rise in oil prices and the dollar's weakness, which contribute to inflation -- and cutting rates only add to these pressures.

      I wonder where they're getting the 200 Billion dollars from More debt for us and our kids and future generations.

      The greatest threat to getting out house in order, paying off our debts, and growing the economy is the Federal Reserve. More fiat money going to the rich does nothing but devalue the dollar.

      Rewarding these banks for bad behavior, is not going to teach them a thing! This is just a bandaid on a large wound!

      The desparity between the rich and the rest of the people is becoming wider every day! Without good paying jobs for the American people, there will be fewer qualifying buyers in the future! Who is going to fix that problem?

      Thanks engineer!

          AS long as the fed does not merely mint this money it's a good idea. If however, they simply print the 200 million we are doing nothing but prolonging our demise.

          Well hey come on now.

          Sarcasm on.

          You can't expect those poor bankers to eat that kind of loss can you? I mean after all they have all those properties to pay for.

          Sarcasm off

          We have to bail them out, so they can continue to rape America for their profits. That way we can be kept in debt with little to say about the way things are done. Just keep our mouthes shut and be happy we have work.

          Freaking inept thieves that want all the pie and the bakery too.

          Good one engneer.

            $200 billion? that's only about $2,500/family of four.

            Your family will soon be the proud owner of about $2500 of useless paper.

            I hope that they will at least give each household a nicely engraved certificte suitable for framing.
