When Treasury refuses for more than a year to require TARP recipients to account for the use of TARP funds, or claims that Capital Purchase Program participants were ‘healthy, viable’ institutions knowing full well that some are not, or when it provides hundreds of billions of dollars in TARP assistance to institutions, and then relies on those same institutions to self-report any violations of their obligations to TARP, it damages the public’s trust to a degree that is difficult to repair.

Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to say “it damages the public’s trust to a degree that is difficult to repair” assumes the public hears, understands, and then cares. as such, i consider mr. barofsky an optimist. (via hilker) I’m guessing you guys didn’t see the Administration’s response to this. Yeah, siding with SIGTARP on this one. Also, I know you both have Disqus comments. I just figured you’d both get reblog notices and I could save typing the message twice. Tumblr title fail :( |
