This Thursday banks get scary thanks to the new economic recovery package, an expansive combination of spending and tax cuts that aims to put millions of unemployed Americans back to work and begin fulfilling President-elect Barack Obama’s ambitious agenda. So there`s not room for banks, but it doesn’t mean they don’t need the help of the government.
Bank shares tumbled on both sides of the Atlantic on Thursday amid intensifying fears that Bank of America and Citigroup, two of the world’s biggest financial institutions, will need further US government support and about the authorities’ ability to stabilize the banking system
Some of the largest components include $87 billion for a temporary increase in aid to states for Medicaid costs; $79 billion in aid to local school districts and public colleges to prevent cutbacks; $90 billion in infrastructure spending; and $54 billion to encourage energy production from renewable sources
