Good and bad banks
By John Schroy, on May 8th, 2009 |

In May 2009, the Obama administration divided some of America’s largest banks into ‘good banks’ and ‘bad banks’.
This broke a long-standing practice of protecting the reputation of the US banking system. The Obama government seized TARP funds as an instrument of political power.
Banks, large and small, are now eager to escape the trap of taking TARP funds, which will require them to raise $74.6 billion, either by selling equities on the market, or from profits.
