Is a drop in the bucket compared to the $265 billion skimmed under the Homeland Investment Act of 2004 where the bulk of that money went to the companies' stock buy back program.

Stock buybacks were prohibited under both of these pieces of legislation. Too bad we don't have a government which seeks to recover these illegally obtained funds for the American taxpayer.

Peace
