The hosts argue this confirms their previous analysis of the Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP) as a scam. They claim the program allows banks to clear their books while the taxpayer assumes 80% of the risk with little upside.

The plan allows private entities to purchase assets with only 7% of their own capital, while the Federal Reserve and Treasury guarantee the remaining 93%, potentially exposing taxpayers to trillions in losses.

During a hearing, Michelle Bachmann was cut off by the committee chair while asking if the American people would receive a proportional share of the benefits. The hosts argue the plan effectively bankrolls private profits with public risk.

The situation is compared to Japan's "lost decade," where the government failed to deal with toxic assets for 20 years.
