The old trope is that conservatives operate on facts, rather than feelings.
The fellow made a factual claim that can be checked .... and you imposed an ideological filter instead. That's feelings at work.
I apologize for snapping at you, btw ... I was out of line.
My excuse, such as it is, is I've lost all patience with that class of FReepers whose idea of discussion is to toss spittle and bile in all directions, with not a rational thought to be found in their brains.

Apology not accepted, only because one was not needed.
But I guess I’ve read way, way too much on TARP over the years to let a sunny assessment, especially by a pundit I have learned to loathe for myriad reasons, stand.
I like Bush just fine, but I’m not going to ever excuse things like NCLB and TARP, just because he’s better than the moron we have in office now.
