After I called out the big banks for adding ANOTHER $20 billion to Trump’s Argentina bailout, their plan is on ice.
But they are still exploring a $5 billion loan – potentially guaranteed by U.S. taxpayers.
No bailout for Argentina’s rich hedge fund investors.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
