"Over all, the bailouts are projected to cost taxpayers $41.5 billion."

Not bad, huh? And you recall that 700 billion was approved for bailouts...of the banks only AIG will not payoff by the end of the year. Do you think the quick payoffs have something to do with exec bonus's at year end?

>> Audit: Taxpayers lose $61B on AIG, auto bailouts

The problem, of course, is that Obama is going to blow the money that comes back out of TARP. That money is being blown ONLY because it is there.

The loss is $700 Billion until some of it actually goes to reduce the national debt. At least, as far as I'm concerned.
