					<description><![CDATA[It  strikes me that, assuming these purchases are in fact within the Fed's authority, the public would have the right to know the exact contents of the portfolio along with the purchase prices.  However to this point I haven't seen even general portfolio characteristics.  Does anyone know whether they will divulge this information?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Time to create the much desired super SIV guaranteed by public funds. The perverse logic can be that since it is general public who is defaulting on subprime loans creating this credit mess in the first place (and not the banks who missold those products), by creating a Fed sponsored super SIV it is being made sure that poor bankers do not suffer the same fate there are no forclosures on their homes.

Excellent wealth redistribution; forget taxes cuts just create SIVs :-)]]></description>
