I knew this engineered pay back stuff was 99.99% bogus. Has anyone of the really written a check on funds not borrowed.

Um, you do know that every bank in existence funds all of its assets and every payment it makes with some debt or another, right?

This is just more banker-hating class war spin trying to ignore away the inconvenient fact that TARP worked, is being repaid, is making the treasury money not costing it money, and the banks are now sound as a result. Half the world predicted the opposite as loudly as possible, but they are immoral idiots and flat wrong about every scrap of it.
