The big-spending Treasury Department has suddenly become parsimonious with what remains of its $700 billion bailout fund, seeking to stretch the money by counting on institutions to return or forgo $57 billion of the $250 billion originally slated for bank rescues.
The sudden thriftiness is driven by a calculation that public anger over the bailouts and big bonuses for executives - expressed in "tea party" protests across the nation Wednesday - has killed any chance that Congress will approve additional funding any time soon.
