You remember TARP? It was the feds' $700 billion program to rescue the US economy from a correction. Neil Barofsky was in charge of it. So we decided to go down and ask him how it turned out…

And one of theose lights in the audience as it started – that was me!
I stopped viewing your Euro-trash videos years ago but my wild guess, sight unseen, would be awful?![wink](https://coloradopols.com/wp-content/plugins/ckeditor-for-wordpress/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/wink_smile.gif)
You should give this one a look. No scantily clad women (or men). And the singer is an opera star. Not sure how to classify the song. If any song becomes a surprise winner – it's this one.
