4. Exactly.
I want to know where the hell all the TARP money went to and why it failed. I don't care what type of services these banks offer.

2. it's all PR. Congress is feigning outrage because the people arent happy with the CEO's
and the CEO's are playing along.

I'm sure they'll all share a laugh at the cocktail party later tonight.

3. The Congress people can say
"See? We asked them about it and they were under oath. They would never lie under oath". To which we can say, "Yeah right".
