From the page: "But the firm's first test â€" the deal to give $125 billion to the nine big banks to ease the "credit crunch" that is crippling the economy â€" wasn't exactly reassuring. Secretary Paulson promised that the banks won't just "hoard" the money â€" they will quickly "deploy it" through the economy in the form of badly needed loans. There is just one hitch: Neither Paulson nor Simpson Thacher got that "deploy" part in writing â€" nor did they put in place any mechanism to require the banks to spend their taxpayer billions. Apparently, the part about lending the money to homeowners and small businesses was sort of implied."
