“Not if you include her continued support for the Bush bailout and the claim in her book that the GOP House opposition to this bill “hurt the cause”. How on earth can she be considered the one who is leading the revolt against big government when she threw those who stood up to this big spending proposal under the bus???”
Two things:
1) I haven’t noticed her support the Tarp bank bailout after the 08 election campaign. If you have a link that shows her doing that and a date, I’ll stand corrected.
2) The primary action that Bush/Paulson took during the economic financial meltdown was the TARP action where they bailed out banks in crisis.
Now, I disagreed with this action, but why are we still bitching about this? It is the only thing that has worked. It stabilized the banking system and 99% OF THE MONEY HAS BEEN PAID BACK WITH INTEREST.
This is something that we need to keep in mind as it didn’t cost the taxpayer a dime.***
On the other hand, Obama’s Porkulus is money down the drain that has done nothing to create jobs and all of his other actions are job killers.
