PRESS RELEASE


Fed: The Fire Is Out of Control;
Pour On More Fuel!

Rather than auctioning a mere $30 billion on March 10 and March 24 (as they have done monthly for the past several months), they will increase that to $50 billion each.

Not enough? No problem: They also announced that $100 billion will be made available through 28-day repurchase agreements, in exchange for the highly prized mortgage-backed securities.
