U.S. government exits AIG with bailout profit of $22.7 bln | Reuters
In October 2012 the government ran a 120 billion dollar deficit. So, that profit will be chewed up and spit out in 5 and a half days. Additionally, the governemt is still going to lose a money on the TARP program.

"Even with the windfall, the government will likely lose money on its Troubled Asset Relief Program, the $700 billion bailout launched in the darkest days of the crisis. Banks and auto companies still owe taxpayers tens of billions of dollars."
