John Sununu TARP Overseer


Senator John Sununu will provide oversight for the TARP. That means counting returns on America's sovereign taxpayer IOU fund. CNBC reported TARP investments are up 3.17%. How does that compare to Abu Dhabi? Sununu is just the man to run the numbers.

Congress passed a bill to provide credit and reign in distorting executive compensation. Bush's implementation did neither. However, the taxpayer provided hundreds of billions to banks, who subsequently cut over a hundred thousand jobs.

Rest assured this Christmas, a 3.17% return sits under Hank Paulson's TARP tree. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, or is it hot and bothered?
