I know this is important stuff we are dealing with but can somebody tell me what is happening with the unemployment extension that so many people need to help this economy get better? I have lost my benefits for the past month, have a two year old and have nothing monetarily. Isn't that a major concern?

I'm just happy that we are seeing some money come back. Bush never worried about that, did he? For all the Republicans carping about government handouts, why do they never mention that the money is being repaid? Oh, they don't want us to KNOW. Or maybe it's that it really isn't being repaid, because that doesn't fit into their Obama is the Devil agenda.
I can hardly wait until the jobs come back to hear their reasoning on why Obama will have had nothing to do with that, either.

Well at least some is being paid back but I guess we aren't going to hear a lot about that.

Would Bush or McCain accomplish this while in power, I think not. Just cleaning up the mess of another Republican. Thanks Democrats.

Banks are going to start returning bailout money?

Wait a minute! All the right-wing Obama haters, who for months have been slamming our President for "spending, spending, spending) and "bankrupting the country" (like GW didn't), are not going to want to hear THIS.

If the banks pay back the money, what are all of these poor Obama-haters going to do? They will have one less reason they can use to complain about an African American being President.

On the other hand, they COULD treat this news like they do climate change/global warming; deny the hard facts and just claim that it's all a hoax.

Treasury Secretary Geithner, I have some alligator infested swamp land in Louisiana I would like to sell you. This transaction will get done quicker than you'll see the banks paying taxpayers money back.

So where are all these toxic assets the TARP was supposed to buy?

I'm sure they will give it away again as soon as they get it back. spread the wealth and all that.

Too bad the Bank of Obama is thriving on the backs of the American taxpayers. Can anybody say IMPEACMENT.

were's my bailout from the greedy Bank of Obama.

Well since the Banks of USS Obama are going to start charging over 30% interest on credit card balances and only pay out a half percent interest on bank accounts its no wonder the Bank of Obama will be paying back some of the tarp money,or should I say the taxpayers money. Obama is evil.

It will take some time, but I think the money will come back. Okay I think most of it will come back. I just don't think that I like big bonuses being paid out while we the taxpayer are still owed money in the billions.

more lies from the number one Obama TAX CHEAT.

What is missing from the conservation is the trillions of money printed by the Fed and loaned an virtually no cost to these banks to prop them up. When are they going to repay those funds and pay for the inflation caused by this action?

It is time for strict regulation of the banks and Wall Street. The more these miscreants squeal the more regulation is needed. Tighten the screws until they stop squealing!

Sooooo , When do I get my check ? Yeah I thought so . More Obama smoke and mirrors ,,,, saw that comming before they spent it!

Another Brain Washed Republican,

We should get every penny back with interest and no exec bonuses until they pay us back. That includes Goldman Sachs and includes the taxpayer money that they got directly from TARP as well as the money they got from AIG. I don't believe in welfare....not welfare for lazy people and not welfare for wealthy banks. Tim Geitner has proven to be just as clueless as Hank Paulson.

Timmy baby--we really want to know what our profit is on these investments. I kinda remember we were going to make a killing on these TARP investments...all I see is that we taxpayers are being paid back. That doesn't sound like profits are coming, just a return of our investment. Where are the profits going....I would like you to tell us where the profits are and how much we have earned so far, including a clearly stated disclosure as to how much the TARP recipients and their related parties are giving to the DEM and GOP campaign coffures!!! Make us believe our profits are not going there!!! Sorry I don't trust you. Your credibility depends upon it, as does Mr Obama's chances for a second term. That issue will be the critical issue in 2010 an 2012.

What about the foreign banks who cashed in?

Little Timmy, living in his life of fantasy. At the taxpayers' expense !

I dont trust this guy. He was in charge of wall street with the financial institution collapes. What the hell was Obama thinking. He probably doesn't know much about the financial scheme that goes on. You can tell by his action. Including Obama picking Larry Summers, a corrupt economist who help deregulate wall street during President Clinton's last year in office. Obama! Fire these corrupt bankers who know the Federal Reserve secret but do nothing to shine the light on corrupt "private" company.

And if this should happen does he line his and the rest of the chicago mafia's pockets with it or does it go to the national debt? Feel certain the current mis-administration will find a way to blow it. What a slimey little tax cheat!!!

Awesome! I will be waiting for my dividend check...

Those overpaid CEOs are essentially a design to evade taxation for the corporations. Uncle Sam has been robbed too many times over.

Yes, indeed pay the American Tax Payer back WITH interest!

TARP paybacks are primarily because American Companies are highly motivated to not have Obozo's big government beurocrats and the Pay Czar controlling their businesses!

Gee... the feds start making noises about capping the pay of CEOs whose companies accepted federal bail-out and, guess what?, the companies return the money. I wonder why that is?

Turbo Tax cheat Tim Geithner.............really hard to respect anything this tax cheat has to say. Tells us to pay our taxes............but he doesn't have to pay his.

Probably we will end up writing off that 'investment' in GM and Chrysler. Propping up these companies was not one of Obama's finest decisions it turns out...even after they both went bankrupt.

What we really need to know is that Tiny Tim Tax Cheat Geithner's personal tax evasion dollars are coming back to the government coffers...!

Does this affect the deficit? Just curious. Anyone?

TARP money invested in GM and Chrysler is peanuts compared to TARP money in banks and AIG.

I am glad the administration is making it uncomfortable for bank executives, it should, that way they will pay us back sooner then, restrict credit swaps and derivative selling to a higher percentage of funds on hand. That way we will never have to spend another 180B to bailout an AIG.

Now who on earth would believe a tax cheat?
