very well said ... yet Barney Frank is out saying if the banks don't like the rules just give the money back. But like you said .... they can't. There are all sorts of restrictions they placed on returning the money. Other banks like SunTrust locally took TARP dollars not because they needed it, but because it added liquidity and pumped up their balance sheet. But now they are in the same boat .... they took it before all these new rules, now they want to give it back but the government will not let them. I think it is because they do want to control the salaries of the banks and eventually nationalize them.

Fits in with obama's socialist thinking.
