I believe it is time for a national uprising. We need to eliminate these idiots(Legislative,Judiciary,and Executive) post haste. Most of them should be tried for treason, and the rest should be stripped of thier assets, and citizenship, and summarily thrown out of the country. Once and for all we must take back our rights, and never let them be taken again

Obama,,,,,the best president ever PURCHASED by the rich....

Mr. Obama, the one term president.

The government should have sent every tax-paying American a check for one million dollars-you can bet WE would have bailed out the mortgage companies, the banks, the car companies -and put tax revenues right back into the coffers. We could send kids to college, start new businesses-and be happier, more prosperous, and these "banksters" wouldn't be getting filthy rich at our expense!

How much TARP money was loaned to to the bank? How much money did the government get back?

You have an odd definition of "money down the drain".

TARP was created to stabilize the financial markets so that Americans by the tens of million would not lose their jobs. Without it unemployment, right now, would be in excess of 20%. The ungrateful - poorly served by the media - taxpayer is getting tremendous value out of TARP. Every dollar of TARP will be paid back, and the government/taxpayer will earn money on the 700 billion.

Obviously a bank that has paid back its TARP funding in just a few months had a special plea under a taxpayer reward system that was based repayment in up to 5 years. I think treasury did the right thing by these small banks.

@JCH

You are mistaken. TARP is keeping banks afloat, but it does not help the rest of us. I have all my money in local credit union because I get better interest then from Wells Fargo or 5/3 Bank. If these banks want my money, they better show me their appreciation.

Mr. Obama gave them my tax money, I can not do anything about that. But I am not giving these banks the rest of my money, the money I control directly.

First, it was President Bush who authorized the loaning of 700 billion, TARP. Obama's team arrived with 350 left to loan, and to date Geithner has loaned about 240 of the 350 billion.

Each and every American benefits every second of every hour from the fact that TARP prevented 20% to 40% unemployment, and that the actions of the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and FDIC have stabilized an economy that was in free fall.

DOES YOUR HOME HAVE EXPOSURE TO THIS?
Associated Press

"MARYSVILLE, Ohio -- A revolutionary fertilizer blend that helped transform the Scotts Co. into the nation's biggest and best-known producer of do-it-yourself lawn and garden products also contributed to the deaths of at least five workers, the Columbus Dispatch reported. "

"Dozens of other current and former workers have been sickened by unknowingly inhaling microscopic asbestos fibers from the W.R. Grace and Co. mine near Libby while on the job, the newspaper reported in its Sunday editions."

"The report cited court documents, regulatory reports, workers' compensation claims, medical records and interviews. The workers were exposed to a pinkish tan ore called vermiculite. It has been used in fertilizer, sold straight and mixed with potting soil to retain moisture. "

"But the newspaper said vermiculite used by Scotts was -- and still might be -- contaminated with tremolite, a rare but lethal form of asbestos that contributed to the deaths of the workers who handled the materials at the Scotts plant in this city about 30 miles northwest of Columbus. "

"Exposure to asbestos can cause asbestosis, an incurable lung disease. Two of the five died of asbestos-related lung cancer more than 25 years after they first were exposed to the fibers. The three others died of lung and heart disease aggravated by asbestos. "

"Asbestos contamination in Libby, where the now-defunct mine was located, is so widespread that the Environmental Protection Agency has suggested the little town ought to be declared a Superfund site. Dozens of asbestos-related deaths and illnesses in Libby have been linked in recent years to the Grace vermiculite mine, which shut down in 1990. ".......

JCH, good point.

warrants are not stock....the payment paid was what was received...Once again the yellow journalistic media pretends it knows more than anyone....bugger them all

very good

While there has been much debate about the fairness of the price banks are paying to repurchase their TARP warrants, there has been little analysis based on actual valuation of the warrants.

However, Pluris Valuation Advisors has just completed a study valuing the warrants of all 265 public banks participating in TARP. Using data accumulated from several years worth of TARP transactions, Pluris found that -- with the exception of Old National Bancorp -- purchase prices have been close to the "fair value" of the warrants.

A copy of the study is available here: http://www.plurisvaluation.com/site/liquistat.html#2. The study will be updated regularly as banks continue to repurchase their warrants.

You can also download a white paper on valuing warrants here: http://www.plurisvaluation.com/site/pressroom/whitepapers.html.
