But big banks? They get a free pass to go along with free money
Free money? The TARP wasn't free. Neither are loans from the Fed.
I would absolutely love the opportunity to borrow money from the government at a low rate and lend it back to the government at a higher rate, but that program is not available to me.
Which program do you (or Chris) imagine allows a bank to do that?
Small, regional banks without access to unlimited and essentially free capital from the Fed are now forced to compete with big national banks that have been granted an unlimited backstop by the Fed.
Free capital from the Fed? I think he's a bit confused about what capital means.
Oh, the pro bank troll.
Let’s see. You ask questions, nit pick the answers and then you LOL.
Here is my question to you, before I will even pretend to answer your questions.
Do you deny that the tax payers are going to pay for TARP?
