Did you ever consider HOW the banks were able to pay off these TARP funds so quickly?

If the economy is so slow, interest rates are historically low, and people can't get loans, then how are banks so flush?

Is this another case of "meet the new boss........same as the old boss"?

Did the bank bailouts work? Who knows? You'd have to NOT bail them out and see where the chips fell to know. Saying otherwsie is labeling yourself as way smarter than you really are.
