TARP at work

From the New York Times.

A 29-year-old man who works for a large investment management firm and was at Bagatelle’s brunch one recent Saturday and at Merkato 55’s the next, put it another way: “If you’d asked me in October, I’d say it’d be a different situation, and I don’t think I’d be here. Then the government gave us $10 billion.”

Enjoy it buddy. Because when ,not if, the s**t hits the fan, this will be probably the last good meal you will ever have.
