<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1251108, member: 26302&quot;]I completely agree with your outrage Fatima about the Fed keeping interest rates low and bailing out banks. I don&#039;t understand the &quot;old rule of thumb&quot; about having to loan $1 trillion to pay back $100 billion. First, BoA used to make about 10 billion a quarter before this mess, and I believe after everything settles down they will go back to that level. But to pay back the Fed they can simply liquidate some loans when the economy stabilizes, between that and earnings they will have the cash to pay it back I believe. You simply lost me on the &quot;having to loan out $1 trillion&quot; part. You do understand they have the entire earning potential of BoA, Merrill Lynch, Countrywide, and many other divisions, as well as massive company assets, to pay this money back, right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
