Here's one account. Basically they're saying the bailouts are currently around: OUTFLOWS: $602 billion, INFLOWS: $390 billion.

Keep in mind, how some money was paid back is interesting. It's no coincidence that banks which shuffle around money anyways, could "pay back" the bailout faster. And GM actually "paid back" some bailout money with other bailout money. LINK. The GM stock bought is supposed to be sold by the government when it reaches value enough to pay back the original "loan", which won't happen until/if the stock basically doubles in value outside of inflation and interest.
