WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Pat Roberts today said the Troubled Asset Recovery Program (TARP), which has spent billions in federal funds to address failing financial institutions, should sunset December 31 to avoid further waste of taxpayer dollars.

It is a wonderland now! I'd be happy if the snow stayed as the trace I woke up to, but alas, the weather center is reporting a Winter Storm Warning that is lasting through to 6 AM tomorrow. Oh the horror. Road conditions are fine now, but start stopping a bit sooner then you normally would. Sooner then your grandmother normally would too. |
