What Type of Collateral are the FED Getting From the Banks for Our Tax Money

We should all applaud Bloomberg News for throwing the flag on behalf of all the taxpayers. I'll be following this case closely.

Nov. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Bloomberg News asked a U.S. court today to force the Federal Reserve to disclose securities the central bank is accepting on behalf of American taxpayers as collateral for $1.5 trillion of loans to banks.

The lawsuit is based on the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, which requires federal agencies to make government documents available to the press and the public, according to the complaint. The suit, filed in New York, doesn't seek money damages.
