Abstract

Starting in the summer of 2008, the United States and most other economies of the world began to feel the effects of the subprime mortgage crisis. In response, the federal government enacted The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) and The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to help restore stability to the U.S. economy. Ultimately this legislation, commonly referred to as “the bailout bill(s),” would result in substantial outlays of taxpayer money to financial institutions deemed systemically significant, or “too big to fail.”
