I think he should give it to me. I promise to lend it to whoever needs it and spend the rest.

Amen, give the money back to the taxpayers. Or maybe it should be burned since it was just printed to give away... then more inflation wouldn't be an issue.

Money down a rathole...i can't believe we elected this clown who's going to piss away untold trillions on buying votes with pet projects. Sometimes democracy sucks.

Give it to any Financial Entity that has contributed to the "Capitol Hill Club" as a bonus.

It's all a waste of money and it won't stop there.

I'd like to see the money given back to the taxpayers. That would help stimulate the economy among other things. -John

Whose fault is current financial mess? #1--Banks/Wall Street who were both stupid and greedy #2--Government--just stupid #3--Consumer--the credulity of a child

So what the F$%K happened to the first $350B? "Oh, sorry we stuck our head up our own ass"

I say he should invent Alphabet Soup like FDR. ( http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gazetteer2000/across/1934.htm ). Everyone should go around the country and look at the placks on buildings built with WAP money and labor and the Blue Ridge Parkway and all the enterances and exists and much much more that has survived. There are recordings and paintings and lots of other things that give meaning to our country that are left overs from the FDR Alphabet Soup. There were canneries that helped feed the nation, like the article i cut and paste above. Do some research online and see what the FDR programs left us with while helping the country recover from the economic pyramid that was contructed and brought the great depression collapse of the 30's.....and is the cause of the one we are just starting now.

The only people getting modified mortgages are on the brink of bankruptcy already. If you want to stop foreclosures modify the loans on people not in default.

I think the Goverment should give the money to Bernie Madoff. So we will get at least a steady return for a couple of years. At least we know what will happen with the money if he gets it. The same thing will happen if the Treasury release it to the banking Industry one day it will all be gone. Paulson did good by his Wall Street budies he gave them the goldmine we got the shaft.

I do not believe there should be a next time around. TARP should be canceled.

Give the money to TechTicker,they will fix everything!!!

The money should be used to create jobs. Handouts to anyone is a bad idea. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs

It should be given to distressed homeowners to help them with their mortgages. It is obvious and has been for a long time that banks/mortgage companies don't really work unless the distressed homeowner accepts what the bank/mortgage company want to do. The distressed homeowner has had no say......well that should change..... wipe out all monies in arrears......drop the percentage rate to what banks loan to banks at.......extend terms......and have banks accept what the homeowner can afford not the other way around....add a third party agreeable to both parties...and finally ban lawyers from doing the work for banks/mortgage companies.....if they want to throw people on the street make them do it......... Only when banks and their mortgage companies are forced by law to work with distressed homeowners will they.......

Hmm, let's think, what could be the worse thing they could do with it? Write blank checks to their friends? oh wait, we didn't that already, they need a new plan. have new people in charge so the friends change? OK, that's the new plan.
