Wait just a darned minute there - what about Congress holding the purse-strings?
How can Bush just dole out cash like that - isn't Bush's (supposed) overreach of power in other areas what drove the Libs crazy? Shouldn't the Libs now rally 'round Mitch McConnel to put an end to the power-grap by the Executive branch????

"Wait just a darned minute there - what about Congress holding the purse-strings?"Congress authorized the $700 billion TARP, the entire chunk to be administered by a guy or two. It was insanity from the get-go.
