→TARP deadbeat list grew to over 120 banks and financial institutions
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.<ref>http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cid=N00009638&cycle=2008</ref><ref>http://www.votesmart.org/finance.php?can_id=9490</ref> <br>
