At the tone, leave a whimper.
Thats not all you know the $25 Billion they supposedly paid back well not true.
Citi doesn’t have to “pay back” the remaining $25 billion. The government converted $25 billion of preferred stock into Citi common at a little over $3/share for the common (when it was trading at less than half that). The government now intends to sell its Citi shares over the next 6-12 months. It may come to more or less than $25 billion but Citi isn’t on the hook for a shortfall if there is one.

Hmmm.
I do believe somebody will end up going to jail AFTER the Republicans take over the government.

Didn’t Obama just say he didn’t become President so that he could bail out the “fat cat bankers” on wall st.?
You get it as a matter of principle. There is no such thing as government money. It's OUR money that we put our neighbors in charge of.
There is more to this story than the populist torches and pitchforks story WaPo is reporting. And I'm no fan of either.

One of the bankers came out and said his meeting was a pr stunt...

What are the chances that millions of "Joe the Plumber" types will now start working for cash under the table as much as they can?
And even if they did get $25B for it, it would remain as part of the TARP/Dem slush fund until they decide what to do with it.
It's a nasty brew of greed, corruption, fraud, and fascism.
A little off the subject, but this came to mind when I read your post:
I’m seeing a future where doctors are working under the table for cash from patients who can’t afford healthcare, and are afraid of going to jail if they get busted, and the doctors themselves are sick and tired of all the government paperwork and red tape if HCR passes.
You’d be surprised at how many Americans (even those in COLLEGE) don’t even understand that simple fact (that the gov’t produces no money of it’s own and takes from us for everything they fund).
Did anyone actually think we’d see these funds back? I know I was told by a lot here to “trust”, support the bailouts & such, and that we’d get back our money with interest... I wonder where those same folks are now?
Doctors will be too afraid of getting their license yanked by the AMA to work “under the table”, otherwise we’d see a lot more of that sort of thing in Canada.
But then again..the Canadian health system is only half as bad as Obamascare.
