An attitude of latitude (and don't leave out the platitude)

The Treasury is overflowing with cash funneling in from the banks who are now flush and yearning to breathe free (of oversight). Here's a lovely thank you note received by We The People:

Repaying the government’s investment will give us greater flexibility to benefit significantly from future opportunities that will be available as we emerge from this recession. In addition, we will become even more focused on the business of serving our clients, rather than dealing with government distractions.
