(C-SPAN) Alan Grayson, a Florida Democrat who has been very critical in the past of Fed actions takes it to Bernanke today regarding foreign central bank lending. If the 90 or so Democratic cosponsors of Ron Pauls HR1207 bill doesnt convince you that Fed transparency is bipartisan then Graysons grilling of Bernanke should.

The swaps are repaid at the same rate they were put on.
I'm not sure what your point is.

In the video above....
The swap was conducted at the height of the Euro Aka the low of the dollar where the euro was worth 1.60 dollars. So after that swap the euro plummeted. I am sure the banks are well aware of what will happen before it happens on the FOREX exchange due to the large sums of money they transfer. (this was a result of the housing bubble) I think the congressmen was addressing this fact when he was cut off. Its a shame you only got five minutes to quiz Bernanke.

The Fed didn't buy "Tarp's"
The Treasury borrowed money and used it to support the banking system.
The Fed wasn't part of TARP.

@patbarkley but the fed had to print the money to buy the Tarp's did they not? Then when the banks could buy back the TARPs they could. Or did the money come directly from the treasury?

@0joesixpack0
TARP wasn't the Fed, it was the Treasury.
TARP didn't buy bad debt.
Bank TARP was preferred stock.

@patbarkley That was what TARP was all about.
