"Altogether, accounting for both the TARP and the Fannie and Freddie bailout, $632B has gone out the door—invested, loaned, or paid out—while $390B has been returned."

It goes on to claim revenues that make up the difference in the stated amounts.

However, I don't see them say these figures are inflation-adjusted. 2018 dollars are roughly worth 83 cents in 2008 terms.

More importantly, those Propublica stats cover only TARP and the Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac bailouts. It counts the fake "profits" on the GM bailout[0] but not the losses on the losing end of the GM reorganization split[1], serving to bail out union pension plans.

It says right there on the page "$390B - Money returned to Treasury by bailed-out companies." It's not an outstanding amount.

Hence my writing "It goes on to claim revenues that make up the difference" in the first place.
