Wasteful Behavior: Northern Trust's Response

By your definition every company should stop all advertising and marketing promotions. This should kill radio, tv, newspapers, advertising houses etc. Why does a company have to change their way of doing business just because they had TARP monies injected into them and in most cases did not have a vote? Remember, the TARP monies are not gifts they are investments that the treasury thinks is necessary to increase capital ratios.
