America               and               the               world               at               whole               has               been               subjected               to               numerous               financial               jargon               and               sophisticated               words               for               incredibly               complex               financial               instruments,               models,               structures,               and               blah,               blah,               blah,               blah.

Thankfully               with               the               help               of               the               Special               Inspector               General               overseeing               the               use               of               TARP               (Troubled               Assets               Relief               Program)               funds               and               a               complete               lack               of               trust               for               any               government               willing               to               give               a               few               institutions               they               personally               select               billions               of               our               tax               dollars,               so               they               can               charge               us               interest               on               loans               created               by               said               tax               dollars;               I               have               worked               on               a               complete               list               that               should               get               you               through               reading               the               Wall               Street               Journal               and               understanding               the               not               so               complicated               world               of               financial               scamming.
               I               have               combined               all               the               not               so               easily               understood               terms               used               by               these               financial               wizards               so               that               everyday               American               voters               can               educate               themselves               and               decided               for               themselves               if               the               politicians               supporting               these               TARP               programs               should               actually               be               in               office               representing               us.
               The               definitions               are               from               the               TARP               Oversight               Committee               and               it               is               available               to               read               online,               but               sometimes               definitions               need               explaining,               so               the               Real               Scoops               are               my               definitions               of               the               definitions.
               ABS               or               Asset-Backed               Securities:               A               tradable               security               backed               by               a               pool               of               loans,               leases,               or               any               other               cash-flow-producing               assets.
               THE               REAL               SCOOP:               Whenever               anything               is               explained               by               a               term               that               needs               explaining,               you               can               bet               its               horse*bleep*.

Let's               first               dissect               what               a               tradable               security               is,               Traders               Log               explains               it               as               generally               a               transferable               instrument               representing               an               ownership               interest               in               a               corporation               (equity               security               or               stock)               or               the               debt               of               a               corporation,               government               or               organization.

So               in               reality               it's               basically               some               made               up               "product"               that               isn't               really               a               product               at               all,               it's               just               a               piece               of               paper               with               a               title               and               the               supposed               money               behind               this               piece               of               paper               is               a               pool               of               other               pieces               of               paper.

Treasury               and               their               cronies               on               Wall               Street               and               at               the               Federal               Reserve               can               hand               pick               and               buy               up               any               financial               institution               they               see               as               failing               because               of               these               under-performing               troubled               assets,               and               not               let               that               institution               take               the               free               market               course               of               bankruptcy               and               dissolve               like               all               failed               businesses               do               in               a               real               free               market.

               The               Real               Scoop:               Another               part               of               the               crap               equation               used               by               Wall               Street               to               implode               our               economy.

Basically               a               mortgage/bank               company               sells               100               loans               to               you               and               me,               the               American               citizen.

Another               unrelated               financial               institution               says               to               the               mortgage/bank               company               we'll               buy               those               100               loans               for               the               price               of               the               loan               plus               4%               interest,               mortgage               company               says               okay               and               they've               made               a               pretty               heft               profit               and               don't               have               the               risk               of               those               loans               on               their               balance               sheets               and               can               offer               another               100               loans               and               on               and               on.

The               financial               institution               is               happy               because               they               could               never               sell               those               loans               themselves               since               they               don't               really               have               the               assets               to               back               them               up               if               they               fail,               plus               now               the               financial               institutions               receives               monthly               payments               from               the               borrowers               which               is               above               the               4%               interest               they               paid               on               the               loans               to               the               bank               and               packages               the               interest               made               on               those               payments               as               Securities               to               investors.

So               when               the               100               loans               made               to               people               who               probably               can't               afford               them               especially               since               the               value               of               the               mortgage               is               well               above               the               value               of               the               home               the               Securities               begin               to               weaken               and               the               investor               eventually               loses               when               the               interest               investment               stream               slows               down               or               stops               due               to               borrowers               defaulting               on               their               fraudulent               loans.

Financial               Institution               aren't               as               happy               as               they               could               be,               but               they               still               have               the               original               loan               sometimes               referred               to               as               a               toxic               asset,               and               they               have               the               government               to               bail               them               out               so               they               don't               go               bankrupt               -               the               investor               and               the               lied               too               borrower               suffer,               and               you               and               I               have               no               choice               but               to               go               bankrupt.
