How Much Was the Bank Bailout...and How Is It Getting Covered Up?

How Much Was the Bank Bailout...and How Is It Getting Covered Up?

On today's episode Brian and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss the recent New York Times research on the bank bailout, stating that the regional banks massive sections of the country depend on were on the verge of collapse. Is this study real or a propaganda piece to cover up that the government spent billions on banks' mistakes?
