FDIC Rips People Off (Foreclosures), Wow this makes my blood boil

Socializing losses and keeping profits. Typical for the bank.

As the Wall Street Journal reports this morning, in what are called a "loss-share" agreements, buyers of failed banks are getting billions of dollars in government guarantees to snatch up the bank's bad assets. To entice buyers, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is offering to cover around 80 percent of the losses associated with buying a bank.
