Mar 2016

It was written to bail out Wall Street and the Banksters.

Later after Obama came in he decided to use some of the funds for the auto bailout.

How many times does this have to be posted??????????????????????????????????????????????

Secretary Clinton is chastising Sanders in the Motor State for not voting for the bill that created the funding for an auto bailout. Except, it wasn’t known that the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) bill, designed to bail out Wall Street banks from their subprime mortgage loan debacle that was crashing the economy, would be used to rescue the auto industry at the time Senators Sanders and Clinton voted on it. Clinton voted yay. Sanders voted nay. It was President Bush who signed the bill into law.

He voted against funding the bailout, AFTER the stand-alone auto bill had failed. Spin fail. nt ucrdem Mar 2016 #40

You're 100% wrong. The TARP vote was not on the auto bailout... Cheese Sandwich Mar 2016 #42

Hillary is right, and yes he voted against the bailout, which is what I said. But do go on. nt ucrdem Mar 2016 #43
