Why is it that the auto companies were berated for "failing" and wanting $25 billion when Citi group is given that much plus billion's more in loan guarantees and hardly any mention of it? Why wasn`t their CEO made to go before Congress and get berated as the auto CEO's were unfairly made to do? They were taken to task for prior mistakes, for not making products people want (even though their new vehicles are award winners) and they needed tohave a viable plan for future growth. Where were these items for Citi group?? One rule for the "real" economy and one for the financial institutions.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('102','Guy Atherton','Citi seems to be badly run if they wanted to buy Wachovia and then at the last minute, after being outbid by Wells Fargo, dropped their bid.\r\n\r\nWhy is it that the auto companies were berated for \"failing\" and wanting $25 billion when Citi group is given that much plus billion\'s more in loan guarantees and hardly any mention of it?

The first round of TARP was $350B. Is there a website which gives an itemized list of how this money was distributed between the various banks ? the government forced the sale of Bear -stearns and Wachovia?
