Not only is this move greedy, it flies in the face of patriotism. Wouldn't you think that the well-being of millions of Americans would override Democratic greed?
Taconic Capital should not be eligible for the TARP plan after this greedy outrage, but the administration's greed does not stop there.

The bank, then considered to be in a precarious condition, received $12 million in December from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), which was intended for healthy banks" according to Fox News. Barney Frank is also reported to be advocating this bank.
