The Banks Paid the Taxpayers Back?

LOL Ok, I guess if you're INTENT on complaining, I guess you can still do it.


Yay I wish regular people could all get Second Chance freebies like the jacka$$ bank-owning fatcats, but at least they've paid the government back. One more step on the way to reducing our deficit, I say.

A better economic outlook means a better future for you, me and our kids. I don't want to write off the USA, heck I LIVE here. I'm glad to see whenever our country makes progress in the right direction.

That article was about TARP, which was only ONE bailout program.

Don't forget TSLF, PDCF, TOP, AMLF, PPIP, CPFF, MMIFF, TALF, TPP, QE, Maiden Lane I, II, and III, FASB rule 157, and all sorts of crap that I can't keep up with or halfway understand, all I know that much of it is coming at the expense of the American people.

Tell me, do you understand what any of those programs are, and what they do? I admit I can't follow it all... but I can follow along enough to know that a person, or a news source, needs to understand what those things are and address them before anyone can speak honestly and informed about "repaying the bailouts." Otherwise it is hot air.

Yea they paid back the printed money that they got for free and could loan out at 5%. Basically the big banks are bigger then before and will keep getting bailed out at any cost because they will argue "we have no choice and need to do it".

I never seem to see the accounting on the 70% of tarp that went to overseas banks like the one Lybia owned most of....
