$77M TARP

What they should have done was just take over the banks and send the former employees regular ol' tarps [to live under].

In 2008 banks spent $77 MILLION on lobbying and campaign contributions. In exchange they got a giant TARP worth $700 BILLION in cash. Not a bad return on investment. Open Secrets did the math: 258,449% ROI.

Not too shabby at all...
