Isn't this what TARP was for us?

Sort of, but not exactly.

TARP was designed for the government to buy mortgage-backed securities that banks owned that were under water.

It morphed into the Feds loaning banks money that could be counted as Tier 2 capital and which has been almost all repaid now.

And all U.S. banks were eligible for TARP money, not just the big banks.
