"If you take steps to prevent a disaster from happening, and the disaster doesn't happen, it's hard to know whether it would have happened if you hadn't taken the steps to prevent it."

Nice quote by Chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), supporting Sen. Bob Bennett's (R-Utah) support for TARP. Bennett was ousted by his state party at their recent nominating convention, led by those rascally and endearing tea baggers.
