SURPRISE! THE BIG BAD BAILOUT IS PAYING OFF.

The article discusses the success of the U.S. government's bailout efforts in response to the global financial crisis of 2008-2009. Analysis by the publication indicates U.S. taxpayers will gain at least a $40 billion profit from the $14 trillion in federal interventions, and perhaps as much as $100 billion. Although the government could lose up to $130 billion on its bailout of government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, these and other losses will be more than offset by profit and income from a variety of sources including mortgage-backed securities bought by the Federal Reserve.
