Payback Time

Remember how the wingnuts were lamenting that the bank bailout would be a mistake, and that we should let EVERYTHING fail in homage to "the free market?" Well the Treasury Department is allowing ten of the banks receiving public funds under the "Troubled Asset Relief Program" (TARP) to repay the Government for $68 billion. That's a good start, and we hope the banks right themselves and refrain from future recklessness. We don't wish the same for the FAIL, FAIL, FAIL wingnut chorus, who got another major issue wrong.
