No Rescue

Regarding the Aug. 20 story, “Biggest S&L; Rescue Yet to Merge 8 Texas Thrifts, Could Cost $5.5 Billion”:

How amazing! The Federal Home Loan Bank Board is going to rescue eight Texas thrifts to be named Sunbelt Savings FSB (which has inadequate funds) with a $2.5-billion note and a promise to guarantee profits by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. (which has inadequate funds), ultimately for a direct infusion of U.S. Treasury funds (which will be paid from inadequate funds and the horrendous national debt).
