Take your TARP and shove it: Bank of America’s paying it off

Posted by WSF On December - 2 - 2009

Screw the pay czar!:  Bank of America is finally getting the  albatross known as TARP off of their back.  They’re planning to pay off $45 billion in short order. Bankers rejoice!

“We appreciate the critical role that the U.S. government played last fall in helping to stabilize financial markets, and we are pleased to be able to fully repay the investment, with interest,” said Kenneth D. Lewis, chief executive officer and president. “As America’s largest bank, we have a responsibility to make good on the taxpayers’ investment, and our record shows that we have been able to fulfill that commitment while continuing to lend. We believe that this is good news, not only for the U.S. taxpayer and our company, but for the country as it is a milestone indicating that public policy has succeeded in helping our industry and the economy begin to recover.
