Hello.

The Fed increased temporary currency agreements, or "swap
lines," that it already has in place with the European Central
Bank to $110 billion and with the Swiss National Bank to $27
billion.

It also set up new swap lines of $60 billion with the Bank of Japan,
$40 billion with the Bank of England, and $10 billion with the Bank
of Canada.

Why in God's name are we bailing out foreign banks?
I think it is probably unconstitutional.

What do you think?

Sincerely,
