"Goldman Sachs, when it said it wanted to repay the $10 billion TARP investment it received from the government, said it had no intention of retiring the $28 billion in debt it had issued with F.D.I.C. guarantees. Indeed, it wanted to issue more such debt."Emphasis added.
The banks can borrow money dirt-cheap because of FDIC guarantees; that's yet another form of government support. Goldman Sachs is intimating that it needs those guarantees to stay in business.
