Steve, they've already set up TARP--whatever the heck that means. Other than Congress authorizing the expenditure of $700 billion of our money, the new TARP people have spent a lot of time--and a lot of our money--hiring new people, finding "appropriate" office space, and yadda yadda. In the meantime, the financial crisis has not abated from what I can see.

Yep, in a couple of decades we'll still have the Department of TARP--and noone whill remember what it was supposed to do either!
