Nonsense, it absolutely does matter. The government gave them money and they paid it back with interest, end of story. If you think the banks should continually be "punished" for some indeterminate amount of time as a result of economic conditions they may or may not have caused, then that should have been a condition of accepting the money...but it wasn't. So go complain to your congressman, your senator or your president, but as far as I can tell the recipients followed the letter of the law...so I have no bone to pick with them now.
