Five banks, including one in West Virginia, have repaid millions of dollars they received from the government's $700 billion financial bailout pot, the Obama administration said Thursday.

The Treasury Department, which oversees the bailout program, said the banks returned a total of $353 million.

It is continued reporting like this that makes XKCD 558 all the more infuriatingly relevant.

...repaid millions of dollars...

They paid $353M, out of the $700000M financial bailout. Or, they have repaid 0.353 B of the 700 B. Wow!
