There were several banks who did not want the money because they did not need it, however they were forced to take it.

They were told that if all the banks didn't take the money it would be obvious which banks were in trouble.
So are these the banks that didn't need the money in the first place? -

We survived the financial crisis after WW2 because we had an industrial-manufacturing base in place. We were at that point in time an exporting nation.

Now we export only wealth and import poverty, We are a nation with NO visible means of support!-

When government stopped spending in 1945 the private sector took off - that ended the depression.

Seems Klarissa would like to imply that the bailout package isn't really working as only the already solvent banks are paying back tarp funds. However apparently the surge is working.

With regard to a manufacturing base, The employees of Wall-mart cannot continue to shop at Target and vice-versa and sustain any real economy.
Simply "managing money" as a means of generating wealth is accomplished thru inflation thus raising prices for all of us. We are financing their lifestyle.
Ed Beckley would be proud -

They know as far back as 2002 that the banks were unstable. Some banks are ok and have been but the markets will slowly drop over the summer.

Business is unable to acquire the money it used to. Lending has slow on both ends of the spectrum. banks are not handing out like they used to and many business are staying pat unwilling to expand.
Could it be all the government debt that will have to be repaid via taxes?

50000000000/300000000=? the stimulus payments are from the benefit of taxes, that caused economic conditions we as citizens were forced to experience and endure...why are they not returned to us, but cause us to work even more than required...why is it so necessary to work untill you drop dead! Why do they see work as they see interest drawn on money?

After all...if 100 percent of the work is done, plus ten percent more each day...look how the picture looks ten days away? -
