Comments on: What Happens When The Banks Pay Back TARP Money? http://weakonomics.com/2009/04/23/what-happens-when-the-banks-pay-back-tarp-money/ Everything That's Wrong With You And Your Money Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:41:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: SaveBuyLive http://weakonomics.com/2009/04/23/what-happens-when-the-banks-pay-back-tarp-money/comment-page-1/#comment-2023 SaveBuyLive Sun, 26 Apr 2009 16:41:38 +0000 http://weakonomics.com/?p=1734#comment-2023 It boggles my mind that the government is making this so complicated. Give the TARP money to the banks, when the banks want to pay it back there should be some sort of financial accounting test to make sure that they won't collapse. If they pass take back the money. Then the government can either give more money to other failing banks or repay the people they borrowed from in the first place. I'm anxious to see what congress does with the money once they get it back. Unfortunately, I'm inclined to agree with you that we can expect it to be spent on pork.

First, I like pork and bacon... but that tattoo removal.. WTF. The fact it gets double counted as income for more spending is kind of gross and stupid. It reminds me of arrested development when they throw away a banana and embezzle a dollar. Yay for political greeD~~ <abbr><em>SJ’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.6bubbles.com/blog/2009/04/downsizing-cities/" rel="nofollow">Downsizing Cities</a></abbr></em> Wow. just. wow.
