The Fed is also loaning to "Small Businesses" in several sectors who can back the loan with $10-$100 billion in assets. These loans are non-recourse. So businesses with more than $10B in assets can borrow from the Fed with no intention of paying them back. This feels like a direct bailout for Billionaires.

    Non-Recourse: Loans made under the TALF are made without recourse to the borrower, provided the requirements of the TALF are met.
