as of march, bank repayment under the Troubled Asset Relief Program at 99%.

Through the repayments announced Wednesday, as well as dividends and interest, taxpayers have recovered about $244 billion of the $245 billion in TARP funds disbursed to banks, the Treasury said..
I've got a good idea. Those working American tax payers who owe money to the big banks, announce: "Hey, we paid you back!" And just keep telling them that over and over again.......................... Even-Steven.

Or how about this? Let's do a calculation of what the bailouts cost each individual American. Any American who owes money to any institution that took a bailout should be able to deduct that amount from the balance -- plus interest of course.
If we're going to get out from underneath the rule of the banksters, we have to start coming up some real, workable ideas to screw them for screwing us. Deficating in the doorways of their branch offices is childish. Let's come up with a real way to send the message: don't steal from me, *****!

You can....file Chapter 13 and live for free in your home. No interest goes to the bank...make ur montly pymnt then sell 3 yrs later if the market gets better.
We can have one-time tax on all institutions and individuals who benefited from the bailouts in the full amount of the money they received plus interest. That money will go directly to paying down the debt. Not one dime of it will be spent on anything else. This will just be a one-time corrective of lousy policy.
This will be mainstreet's way -- rich, poor, left, right ... basically all Americans who didn't benefit from TARP -- of letting the banksters know they didn't get away with it. Their actions had consequences after all.
You know plenty of those entities have paid all of that money back and others are paying interest do you not? It sounds as if you don't.
Every American benefitted from TARP. Another large bank failing would have sent the economy into a tailspin and would have stopped lending even more. Incidentally, small companies rely on banks for lending for operational expenses. You know, those things like payroll.
How about spending some more time reading about TARP and less time getting emotional.
