The Boldest Daylight Robbery in the History of the World?

Well, the colonial plunderings of Africa and North America by Europeans were probably larger, but the US Treasury is being robbed right now and in broad daylight; right under our noses.

"The Congressional Oversight Panel (COP) reports today that Hank Paulson's Troubled Asset Recovery Plan (TARP) stole $78 billion of our money. This sounds like a huge under count to me -- I would put the figure at much closer to $350 billion. The questions now are what to do about TARP and whether similar waste can be prevented for the next $350 billion."

You might not have noticed though, since they threw a TARP over it.
