Even if you accept the amazing, faulty premise inherent in this comment (see the other response for more on why one shouldn't), the timeline is misleading.

For example, TARP (about $475bn) was more than 93% recovered by the end of 2012. The bank-related programs had already over-recovered $23bn versus the $245bn disbursement by that point with approximately a 4% internal rate of return.

Not to mention the inflation rate between 2008 and 2010 was -4% and then 0% for a hot minute thereafter. Factoring that, plus the 4% nominal return, meant that the programs yielded something like 8-10% annualized real returns.
