IT'S A TARP

Awesome, so TARP, which was actually signed under Bush, not Obama (though it was during election season and both then-Senator Obama and Senator McCain bi-partisanly met up with Bush to get it done), is actually going to cost the American budget about 0 dollars (relatively speaking) and pretty much prevented the financial ruin from getting any worse (yes, it could have gotten much much worse, I could have been super-unemployed).

Ok, so it still cost a few billion dollars -- that's less than a percent of the total budget.  Can we stop bitching about TARP now, and start bitching about something productive?  Like, I dunno, the President that signed this bill was a total socialist...
