End TARP: Saves $4.5 billion
Originally described as a $700 billion bailout, TARP never approaches the capped price. Following the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform Act, TARP was restructured. Within this restructuring, the cap was lowered to $475 billion, and
the Secretary of the Treasury no longer had the authority to reuse paid back TARP funds or sold assets.
The September 2010 Outlay of TARP funds report put out by Treasury comparing committed amounts and actual
disbursements, shows a $87.39 billion savings if no more money was disbursed.
