We’ve commented at length at the Obama Administration propensity to rely on propagandizing to mask the shortcomings of its policies. No where has this been so evident as on the financial services front. As we wrote:
Yves here. The 12.8% figure is wildly misleading. It does not include the damage of the crisis to the broader economy, such as the fact that the US is suffering lower growth and much higher unemployment as a result, and this lower output level is just about certain to produce a permanent reduction in the standard of living. The Bank of England, by contrast, has tried to measure the cost of the crisis using these broader considerations (which are admittedly very hard to measure) and has concluded the cost of the financial crisis was one to five times GLOBAL GDP.
Moreover, the tacit assumption in the Geither comment, and other Administration defenses of its bank-friendly actions, is that the choice was the program that the Administration implemented or no intervention at all. But that is bunk. There were plenty of other options for shoring up the battered financial firms; giving them generous support with virtually no strings attached, and in particular, no changes in management, was unheard of, at least outside of kleptocracies. Various forms of resolution, in particular the Nordic model, were widely discussed early in the Obama Administration and pointedly ignored. The Obama crowd took a tough line with the auto companies, dispatching its top brass, forcing the recipients to produce long term plans, forcing bondholders and union members to take haircuts. Why did the banksters get kid glove treatment? The answer is all too obvious: financiers are one of the biggest sources of campaign contributions.
The TARP was created by the Bush regime; why not distance yourself from it or deploy it differently? This Administration has chosen to make the TARP its own and has no one but itself to blame for the consequences.
