A New Sign That The Government Bailout Isn't Working

Here’s an interesting new way to measure how much the government’s bailout is, or perhaps in this case isn’t, working:

The Ethisphere Institute, a non-partisan research think tank, has just set up an index to track the US Federal Government’s returns on its more than 400 investments through its Troubled Asset Recovery Program (TARP). The institute plans to put out weekly reports detailing the performance of the TARP investments at http://ethisphere.com/ethisphere-tarp-index-report/.
