Aren't these CDFI's?
ReplyDeleteYes, they are community development financial institutions.
ReplyDeleteSo what is your point? This money is not a bailout, but a separate program that is using the TARP funds that the banks paid back (good for them). Are you still trying to spin this as the same program as TARP with your headlines. Sorry but we are smarter than that!
ReplyDeleteA total of $570 million was awarded under the CDCI program, yet awards to credit unions were just under $70 million. The remaining $500 million went to community development banks... Not sure why you would attack credit unions for being nonprofit considering most CDFI loan funds are also nonprofit.
ReplyDeleteMaybe these credit unions will do better than the big banks, who sat on their $700 billion dollars in TARP bailout funds, made record profits, then returned TARP so they could give their executives multi-million dollar bonuses.
