As others have pointed out, your anger is misplaced.
Wells Fargo was one of the banks that was arm-twisted into accepting TARP funds. They didn't ask for it, and they didn't need it.
But, the Treasury Dept. wanted to avoid the perception that only some banks were "in trouble" and needed the funds. To avoid a run on those banks (and exacerbating their very real problems), the other banks were "convinced" to accept bailout funds they didn't need.
Wrong. TARP wasn't the only reason I dumped Wells-Walkoverya.
