The key to good drunk-blogging is to pick a phrase most likely to be heard. With these dudes, “unexpected” is a lead pipe cinch.

LOL, show me the day the repayment reduced the debt, and actually aig still owes trillions, as does the banks of Europe as does gm. Open the books, and show everyone, get little Timmy to show the books.

Fortunately, they repaid the loans from TARP at a profit to the Treasury. Even if true, making a profit on inappropriate government loans would not justify the initial unconstitutional action. And can you provide a link to support that claim, not that we made a profit on some TARP loans, but that we made a profit overall on TARP? Personally, I hope every Stimulus,TARP, and Bailout company goes bankrupt, and I am boycotting them all forever to contribute to that worthy goal. If they disappear, the jobs and business will flow to more honest companies, so it won't hurt our economy, but it will hurt the crooks who accepted taxpayer dollars in a manner that was certainly immoral and would have been illegal if not for the disgusting actions of Congress (in response to the generous political donations from TARP companies!).

Actually, AIG still owes the Treasury about $50 billion.
as does the banks of Europe
TARP didn't go to any European banks.
as does gm
Yes, TARP for banks was profitable. TARP for the auto unions will lose billions.

Fannie and Freddie will cost billions. Tens of billions. Probably over $100 billion.
