Oh, is it?

Rep. Barney Frank plans to call the heads of major bailed-out banks to testify before his committee next week, two aides to the House Financial Services Committee chairman said.

For Frank and other backers of the bailout, known as TARP, or the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the problem is that its purpose is to prevent a total collapse of the global financial system. Because of the way politics works, it's difficult to get credit for preventing harm rather than doing good.

"It's like wearing dark pants and pissing down your leg," Frank said before the bailout vote in October. "It gives you a warm feeling, but no one knows you did it."

I just have nothing to say to this.
