The U.S. Chamber of Commerce lobbied for the creation of the TARP program and
continues to support efforts to improve the program to ensure its success. With banks not
lending, businesses lost the liquidity needed to function, while simultaneously, consumer
spending, which makes up 70% of our economy, was shrinking at an historic rate. Simply put,
the financial crisis had driven the United States to its worst economic predicament since the
Great Depression. In order for businesses to function and for an economic recovery to take hold,
the financial services sector needed immediate shoring up and that vehicle was TARP.
