Which foreign nations got 0.5 trillion USD?
 

Alan Grayson: "Which Foreigners Got the Fed's $500,000,000,000?" Bernanke: "I Don't Know."

The link is to a 5 minute 11 second video showing questioning of Fed Chairman Bernanke. It seems he does not know which foreign central bank received half-a-trillion dollars from the Federal Reserve.

Rhetorical Question: What happens if a foreign central bank cannot pay the Fed back?

Snarky comment: Such a deal!

I think a better analysis would not be which bank - but which banks - as I would surmise the loans in question involve either most or all of the world's central banking systems.

Ask the WMF what happened when Brazil could not meet her repayment schedule and its impact on the EU. ;)

It's a faith based system - and - OBTW - which nation has the reputation of historically being the lone wolf in meeting its financial obligations - a rhetorical question.

Is it the fishing season already...or is this just another question of faith? ;)

It seems to me that Rep. Grayson will find he has very well-funded primary opposition for his next election campaign, and if he survives the Dem primary, he will face a very well-funded Rep. opponent.

He asks questions a lot of people don't only not want answered - they don't want them asked!
