The TARP bill could almost be considered a joke if it weren't for the cost. All the hoopla and posturing surrouding it, the press, the pundits, etc. Where are the numbers for all the monies the fed has slipped out through the begging window since this mess started? Why isn't that in the news? Doesn't anyone realize it's in the trillions and also guaranteed by taxpayers? Almost funny too are the multi millions still being handed out to those execs that caused all this in the first place. It's not really a joke, but a crime and I'm sure if it weren't for the millions upon millions of dollars given to both parties for reelection that SERIOUS investigations would already be under way.
