This is supposed to be a forum for intelligent discussion.
I literally quoted investopedia for how TARP works - so don't pretend that isn't how it worked. "Purchasing illiquid Mortgage Backed Securities" aka "Toxic Assets" aka "Dog Crap".
- chimeracoder 8y ago> This is supposed to be a forum for intelligent discussion And yet you began with a sarcastic quip, followed by comparing TARP - a program that has generally been considered a successful part of mitigating the 2008 financial crisis by all mainstream economists, to different degrees - to passing around a bag of "dog crap". That's not what a good-faith intellectual discussion looks like, so don't expect replies to exceed the level of effort and discourse that you yourself are presenting.
- hndamien 8y agoThat isn't sarcasm, it is metaphor. You are looking for a pretty cheap out if you think using metaphor reduces discussion such that you can just respond by calling somebody dumb. I'm going to stop here because you have set this discussion on a path towards unhelpful negativity. I hope any moderator/ reader reading this can see that you side railed this and not me. None of my discussion was about you, but was about the issue. Your response might as well breach the name calling rules of this forum.
- hndamien 8y agoI just realised you were referring to the sarcasm after your rudeness, to justify your rudeness. Makes sense /s
