I'm glad president George W. Bush signed the TARP legislation.

Will, Wells Fargo didn't accept a TARP payout. You should go back and re-read what they actually did before writing assumptions. You will come off a little more intelligent that way.

I can't connect this to TARP or sidewalks..........how do you do it?

Nice to see how our bailout funds are being used. Shame on Bush for TARP.
