On Monday 23 March, The United States offered to finance private investors to help clean up the banks of nearly  $1 trillion that is invested in toxic assets. This is blocking further lending and worsening the US recession situation.
 
The news raged the Markets that rallied on, in response to a disgusted reaction previous month to the public-private partnerships proposed by Timothy Geithner, Treasury Secretary, US.
 
Questions were raised on how to price the toxic assets. The stakes are high for Geithner. He seeks to gain the confidence of the investors. He says he has a viable program to continue the flow of credit once again.
 
According to this plan, in the initial stage, a new Public-Private Investment Plan will finance for $500 billion as purchasing power to buy the troubled or toxic assets, which the state refers more diplomatically to as legacy assets. The financial aid can be extended to as much as $1 trillion depending on the potential of expanding later, as per a fact sheet published by the US Treasury Department.
 
The TARP (Troubled Assets Relief Program) would be at the core of this plan. The financing package in capital will range between $75 billion and $100 billion and will assist in the existing financial bailout.
 
This will also include the share contributed by private investors, which the government estimates tol come up to 5 percent or even more. The government expects to leverage this program with the support of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as well as the Federal Reserve. It is hopeful of acquiring huge amounts of bad loans by executing the program.
 
The Treasury expects that private investors would be subsidized through the intended plan, but they may even stand losing there investments. However, the taxpayers would be in a position to share prospective profits when the assets are sold finally.

 MEXICO CITY, March 25  – Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State, stated this Wednesday that an “insatiable” craving for illicit drugs in the US should be held responsible for the extreme amount of violence ripping throughout the city of Mexico.
 
Hillary Clinton arrived Mexico on a two-day visit where she accredited US with having a predominant role in Mexico’s vicious warfare against drug. She also discussed US program to gear up safety measures on the border in a meeting with President Felipe Calderon.
 
President Barack Obama has prioritized Mexico’s illegal drug war topmost on his agenda viewing the upsurge in drug criminals’ killings that rose to 6,300 last year. He fears the violence could ooze across the border. This step has been taken after several years of Mexico feeling that Washington was ignoring a grave common problem.
 
Clinton stated in a meeting with reporters through her flight to Mexico City that their unquenchable demand for unlawful drugs promotes the drug trade. She added that they have been unable to prevent the illegal smuggling of weapons across the border that arm these criminals. This has caused the demise of policemen, military men and civilians.
 
Clinton added the Obama administration has decided to render strong support to Mexico in its struggle with the drug cartels and have pledged the United States would try to ramp up the transport of drug-fighting equipment as promised under an agreement signed in 2007.
 
Clinton declared at a press conference in Mexico City they would stand united with the Mexicans as their relationship means much to them and cannot be enthreatened by any cause whatsoever. The biggest challenge thrown before the Calderon’s presidency is to crush the drug dealers generally armed with US smuggled weapons. They slay their rivals, sometimes even behead them, and throw them in streets.  The prevailing rampage has nearly rattled investments and tourism.
