.....And our $787Billion for TARP is where?

From Wikipedia:

The Troubled Asset Relief Program, commonly referred to as TARP or
RCP, is a program of the United States government to purchase assets
and equity from financial institutions to strengthen its financial
sector which was signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush on
October 3, 2008.

So, before you wet your pants too much about TARP, I hope you realize
that it was a gift from George W. Bush to all his Big Business buddies.
