More than 120 banks and financial institutions who took TARP money failed to make their scheduled payments. Five other banks that received money from the $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program which then [[Senator Barack Obama]] voted for have failed altogether, making it unlikely the [[U.S. Treasury]] will ever recover the money poured into those institutions. '''Goldman Sachs''', '''JP Morgan''', '''Citigroup''' and '''Morgan Stanley''' which recieved $70 billion in '''[[bailout]]''' funds are among the largest donors to President Obama's political campaigns.
