The Political Environment: Obama's Economic Plans Are Working

Monday, May 17, 2010

Paid off its government loan, as have most of the big banks - - which borrowed under a George Bush initiative, TARP.

When will the Right give Obama some credit?

Ron R said...: Maybe when or if they ever pay back the billions that was spent to bail them out. Until then I'll give credit to the companies that didn't require bailing out.; May 17, 2010 at 7:51 PM
Anon Jim said...: Was wondering what took you so long to trumpet the GM load "payback".

So GM uses part of the $50B it was given by the U.S. Govt to transfer $6.7B from one taxpayer-funded TARP Account to another.

In the private sector that is called fraud.

And to top it off Obama lackey Whitacre appears in a commercial giving the false impression the whole $50B has been repaid.

Apparently a sham even you have bought James.

And I imagine it gives little comfort to the creditors and bondholders whose equity was wiped away by Obama, allowing GM to show a pseudo-profit now.; May 17, 2010 at 9:37 PM
