One Hand Doesn't Know What The Other Hand Is Doing

Generally, banks that repaid CPP funds did so with cash raised from earnings, or by raising new outside capital. In finance and banking you always have to read the fine print. And if you go back to the report, you’ll notice that the fine print accompanying the entries for each of the above exits makes reference either to Footnote 49 and Footnote 50. Footnote 49 reads: “Repayment pursuant to Title VII, Section 7001(g) of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 using proceeds received in connection with the institution’s participation in the Small Business Lending Fund.” Footnote 50 reads: “Repayment pursuant to Title VII, Section 7001(g) of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 — part of the repayment amount obtained from proceeds received in connection with the institution’s participation in the Small Business Lending Fund.”

All of which is to say that these banks repaid cash owed to a program run by the Treasury Department by. . . .borrowing from another program run by the Treasury Department.

Totem pole makers also benefitted from the TARP.

As a matter of fact the Zipulator manufacturers bought their vacuum toobs from the Bank of Kyrgistan which was propped up by loans from Goldman Sachs and the queen of Norway.

Wimpy wasn't just into burgers.

Today feels like a Friday. A very hot Friday.
