The Federal Reserve and the big banks fought for more than two years to keep details of the largest bailout in U.S. history a secret. Now, the rest of the world can see what it was missing.

The Fed didn't tell anyone which banks were in trouble so deep they required a combined $1.2 trillion on Dec. 5, 2008, their single neediest day. Bankers didn't mention that they took tens of billions of dollars in emergency loans at the same time they were assuring investors their firms were healthy. And no one calculated until now that banks reaped an estimated $13 billion of income by taking advantage of the Fed's below-market rates, Bloomberg Markets magazine reports in its January issue.

Saved by the bailout, bankers lobbied against government regulations, a job made easier by the Fed, which never disclosed the details of the rescue to lawmakers even as Congress doled out more money and debated new rules aimed at preventing the next collapse.

A fresh narrative of the financial crisis of 2007 to 2009 emerges from 29,000 pages of Fed documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act and central bank records of more than 21,000 transactions. While Fed officials say that almost all of the loans were repaid and there have been no losses, details suggest taxpayers paid a price beyond dollars as the secret funding helped preserve a broken status quo and enabled the biggest banks to grow even bigger.

  • "Why is no one talking about this?" WE have been dumbass!! You've been more worried about why Ron Paul supporters were throwing snow balls at you than you were about what Dr. Paul was talking about. This is has got to be one of the best clips I've seen as of late, especially towards the end. Shared.

  • I guess Ron Paul was right....yet again.

  • SURVEY FOX NEWS

    By Eric Boehlert

    The release this week of yet another survey indicating the more you watch Fox News the less they know, has once again shone a spotlight on one of the unique features that defines Rupert Murdoch's cable news outlet - it is very, very good at misinforming people. And it's very bad at reporting the news. In other words: Propaganda? Yes. News? Not so much

    What's stunning is how many different areas of the news and public policy Fox viewers are misinformed

  • Hey Romney (and Peter Schiff)... do all Massachusetts Morons mispronounce Bernanke as "Bernacky?"

  • I can picture cain trying to seduce those women, i got something big & bold, and its 9, 9 9,......
