A Look back…
Guggenheim Partners, LLC provides various forms of investment and financial services across the U.S., Europe and Asia.
Guggenheim ‘tapped’ some serious liquidity from the Federal Reserve during peak periods of the great financial crisis (2007-2010).

Bloomberg Nov 28, 2011 – Excerpts:
As chief executive officer of Bear Stearns Cos. in 2008, Alan Schwartz tapped the Federal Reserve for as much as $30 billion of emergency cash to float the New York-based brokerage until it could be acquired by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
By June 2009, he was CEO of closely held Guggenheim Partners LLC, whose special purpose financing affiliates borrowed as much as $16.4 billion from the Fed’s Commercial Paper Funding Facility. Liberty Hampshire Co., a Guggenheim unit, sponsored asset-backed commercial paper conduits, which removed mortgage securities and other assets from companies’ balance sheets and provided cheap financing. Such conduits were among “shadow banks” that helped inflate pre-crisis asset bubbles, according to a July 2010 Federal Reserve Bank of New York report.

Guggenheim Partners, LLC received their Fed liquidity transfusions through Commercial Paper Funding Facility, one of the many credit facilities created by the Fed to rescue companies that had rolled the dice with leveraged speculation – and lost.
These Fed’s liquidity transfusions come with a price. They represent a ‘draw’ on the purchasing power of the future earnings of millions of U.S. citizens.
U.S. citizens should receive nothing less than that same direct access to liquidity – through a U.S. Citizens’ Credit Facility, from the Fed.
