Can anyone tell me if the ACORN story was true from yesterday (that $140B was going to go to them - 20% of the total)? If so, why wouldn’t DeMint, who’s excellent, raise it as an issue?
“(that $140B was going to go to them - 20% of the total)”
I think you have it wrong: 140 Billion of the bailout is not going to them. The 20% they are talking about was where the Dems wanted to see money recovered (if any) when the Govt sold the assets be earmarked for ACORN.
So none of the actual 700 Billion being proposed would go to ACORN. Just some of the money recovered (if any).
DeMint raised it yesterday and it was removed.
