WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Treasury bailout watchdog has warned that excluding his office from oversight of a proposed $30 billion small business lending fund would be "terribly wasteful" and could put taxpayers at risk.

The letter, dated Friday, was made public on Monday.

No matter how many times he’s found with his rat paw in the cookie jar, he acts like nothing happened. This will keep up until either Bummer is voted out, expires his terms, or the makeup of Congress is sufficient to impeach. I mean, Richard Nixon appears the very paragon of probity compared to Bummer, and even Jimmy Carter doesn’t seem so bad.
