Let the TARP repayments begin. &lt;p&gt;Today, four banks (Signature Bank, Old National Bancorp, Iberiabank and Bank of Marin Bancorp) became the first wave in what&#39;s sure to be a decent set of firms to repay money borrowed under the U.S. government&#39;s Troubled Asset Relief Plan.&amp;nbsp;In so many words,&amp;nbsp;the banks said &quot;we&#39;re sick of your rules, man&quot;&amp;nbsp;as the reason they were paying the U.S. back. &lt;p&gt;Although the dollar amounts that these banks took under TARP certainly had something to do with their&amp;nbsp;making the repayments now&amp;nbsp;(combined, they repaid less than $400 million, as compared to the billions that several larger firms have borrowed under the plan), it&#39;s noteworthy that these banks aren&#39;t the largest or most well known in the country, as it shows that even the little guy, who pays its bankers&amp;nbsp;fewer dollars than the big guys,&amp;nbsp;doesn&#39;t want to play by Uncle Sam&#39;s new (bonus) rules.&lt;/p&gt;
