			<title>A simple question</title>

			<description>CDS stands for &quot;credit default swap&quot;. It is a contract where a buyer makes periodic payments to a seller in consideration of the seller making good any loss on the possible default under a loan made by the buyer to a third party.

A CDS resembles an insurance policy. However, there is no requirement that the seller holds assets to enable it to meet its obligation under the contract. Clearly, this has been a godsend for speculating banks and brokers over the last few decades since deregulation by Congress allowed this kind of behavior.

Credit default swaps are the most widely traded credit derivative product. The Bank for International Settlements reported the outstanding credit default swaps to be $42.6 trillion in June 2007.

A large part of this $42.6 trillion is in loans that have no underlying value. It is money siphoned off by crooks, cronies and collaborators. Do you really think a few hundred billion dollar bailout by the FED and Congress can avert the final reckoning? </description>
