U.S. to inject $20 billion into Citigroup
The Associated Press
Sunday, November 23, 2008
WASHINGTON: The U.S. government unveiled a plan Sunday to rescue Citigroup, including taking a $20 billion stake in the firm, whose stock has been hammered on worries about its financial health.
In addition, the government will guarantee as much as $306 billion of risky loans and securities backed by commercial and residential mortgages.
The announcement was made by the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
"When we are the victims of an illusion we do not feel it to be an illusion but reality. It is the same with evil. Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil but as a necessity, or duty. Once a certain group of people has been placed outside the ranks of those whose life has value, then nothing comes more naturally than murder. As soon as men know they that they can kill without fear of punishment or blame, they kill; or encourage killers with approving smiles." Simone Weil
