Inflation Uptick With Basis In The Tax Cuts--To Be Remembered, Every Month!

Nope.

"After the original $700 billion bailout, the ongoing bailout was kept very secret because Chairman Ben Bernanke, argued that revealing borrower details would create a stigma — investors and counterparties would shun firms that used the central bank as lender of last resort. In fact, $7.7 trillion of the secret emergency lending was only disclosed to the public after Congress forced a one-time audit of the Federal Reserve in November of 2011. After the audit the public found out the bailout was in trillions not billions; and that there were no requirements attached to the bailout money - the banks could use it for any purpose."


The Big Bank Bailout

The big got even bigger

But 48 percent of the banks that have repaid the CPP used money they’d gotten from other federal programs, according to the GAO report. Those programs include the Community Development Capital Initiative — another TARP program — and the Small Business Lending Fund, a program designed to encourage lending to small businesses. Both of those programs have more favorable borrowing terms for the banks than the original CPP.

This isn’t a new issue —
The Wall Street Journal reported last October that banks were repaying TARP funds with cash earmarked for small-business loans, after the Independent Community Bankers of America lobbied for the ability to switch money “from one Treasury program to the other.”

"After the original $700 billion bailout, the ongoing bailout was kept very secret

All those short-term loans were repaid. Years and years ago.

After the audit the public found out the bailout was in trillions not billions;

Only if you feel $100 billion in loans rolled over ten times is the same as lending $1 trillion.

and that there were no requirements attached to the bailout money - the banks could use it for any purpose."

What kind of requirements should have been placed on short term, fully collateralized loans?

Why do you guys keep saying all of the loans were repaid??
I have spelled this out to folks like you 1000 times.
If you borrow $1000 from the bank that has a one time balloon payment in a year, and at the end of the year the bank says "hey wait...we will give you a loan for $1500 at NO interest and you can pay back your loan with it!!"
Guess what>>> YOU DIDN'T PAY THE LOAN OFF.

Why do you guys keep saying all of the loans were repaid??

Only because they were. Years and years ago. At a big profit to the Treasury.

If you borrow $1000 from the bank that has a one time balloon payment in a year, and at the end of the year the bank says "hey wait...we will give you a loan for $1500 at NO interest....

Cool story, bro. But all the loans were short term. None were at NO interest.

I post proof and you respond with "nuh-uh".

Bank TARP was over $400 billion.
Did you post proof that banks borrowed $400 billion somewhere else and haven't repaid it?
 
Nope.

More than half of $4 billion in federal funds disbursed this year to spur small-business lending by community banks was used to repay bailout funds that the banks received under the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program.

Less than $4 billion, but TARP was over $400 billion.

Your "proof" covered less than 1% of TARP?

Wow......sounds series!
 
The January inflation rate is the highest reported for some time. Recalling that Speaker Ryan actually delivered a wage hike of $1.53 per week from the Tax Cuts: Then that can be noticed, too(?)!
Inflation Starts to Make a Comeback

A 5-10% annual inflation may not be in the offing, much closer to 5% inflation is already here. Companies having to borrow heavily, now can raise prices to cover the costs.

"Zip" goes the Tax Cut as a Republican accomplishment.

The inflation stimulus was clearly unnecessary, and badly thought through.

Slipping it into the porn star, right after the birth of the youngest boy: Is likely more on board as an issue in the Midterms, than is the inflation-causing. . . stimulus of that kind.

A "Goose," so far: Is not reported(?)! There may be the lawyer with more details.

"Thinking things through" is not so far easily noted a White House pillar of political support(?)! "How it may look or resonate. . .or stimulate". . .is not even on a flash radar(?)! Mostly, birds still tweet. Then there is what the White House. . . Exposes.

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Many not take name of Great Spirit, "Seven Come Eleven," in vain anymore(?)! Nigerian state-regulated gambling even advises not to bet with basis in financial need, or as an income source!)

Tax cuts don't cause inflation, dumbass. All they do is let taxpayers spend the money rather than the government. Government creating money out of thin air is what causes inflation.
 
January came in as a budgetary surplus month on first estimate. If, as seems likely. GDP growth stays above 2.6% we will run an annual surplus. That also compounds.

We'd need GDP growth double that, and frozen spending, for years and years, before we'd have a chance at a surplus.
