This is ridiculous. I’m going to keep it short and sweet: taxpayers want, and are entitled to, transparency in those institutions funded by taxbucks. Primarily, I’m speaking of the government. But when the government lends out money to big institutions (that, frankly, should’ve known better than to engage in risky business practices), than the taxpayers want transparency from them, too.
If the banks choose not to, y’know, be transparent, I’ve got a suggestion: pay that money back. Now.
I’m a little unclear about this transparency thing.
