    "The program -- introduced to prop up rapidly failing financial markets -- is now projected to cost the government less than 50 billion dollars, a bargain considering the economic growth that could have been lost."

    "Republicans have also spent 24 months trying to tie it to President Barack Obama's administration and Democrats have tried to remind voters it was actually signed by his predecessor George W. Bush."

    Yeah. Bush crafted TARP with Paulson. Did Bush save us from a Bushpression, and now we're falling back into a recession?

    Oops, the Tea Party has no ax to grind now. Guess they'll fade into obscurity as the stupid party.

    Last I checked there was still an 800B "stimulus package" still rolling, and an ObamaCare bill in effect, and record levels of deficit spending, and...

    Yeah, I don't think the Tea Party is going away soon.

    The deadline to use that money is coming up isn't it? How much of that was actually used? I think I read this weekend is was like 450B. But I am sure we will still see 800B quoted for awhile though.
