1:30PM 1/14/2010
The Congressional Oversight Panel, created along with TARP, has issued a report taking Treasury to task for having "effectively no metric to determine whether [its] actions met its stated goals." Congress and the Fed should also get some blame.
The Congressional Oversight Panel's December report on TARP concluded that it "proved decisive enough to stop the panic and restore market confidence," but failed to address many of the "ongoing problems" in the financial markets and the broader economy. However, it didn't call for ending the program.

In its July Oil Market Report, the IEA...
Prices for oil and gasoline, after stubbornly shrugging off recession concerns and pinching pocketbooks this year, have fallen more than 10 percent from their June peaks.
