Although TARP did stabilize the U.S. during the financial crisis, it has paved the way for some anger from middle class America who are in a debt unloading stage. Unless we help the middle class, the economy will not recover equally and will widen the income gap. This is bad for America...even worse for the wealthy because economic growth will not happen unless the middle class is involved! Capital flow will slowing leave America and will be in the emerging markets. It is happening now! The dollar is taking a pounding.
The perception is that Wall Street and lobbyist influence have become too strong; That the middle class has been left out. That is one reason that the "tea party" movement is becoming stronger; I surmise that incumbents in the mid-term election will lose some seats. The consequences of the tea party movement in reversing wall street influence are still undetermined.
