[history]
Former Vice President Dick Cheney said the Bush administration should have let General Motors go bankrupt instead of bailing out the troubled auto giant, according to The Hill.
Cheney told CNBC's Larry Kudlow that he disagreed from the beginning with Bush's decision to provide a short-term loan to the embattled automaker. At the time, the move was intended to keep the GM solvent until then-President-elect Obama could take the reins. A month before he left office, Bush announced a $13.4 billion bridge loan for General Motors and Chrysler.

The loony Left accused Bush of being Cheney’s puppet.
If only.

This is what I said at the time. Bush was suckered by Paulson on the TARP bailout and the GM bailout. And he never seemed to have any problem spending government money, so it didn’t bother him too much.

Of course, if GM had folded before Jan 21, you know we would NEVER EVER hear the end of it from the media. If it goes under now, well, some media will mutter that its all Bush's fault but in general the whole thing will be minimized/swept under the reug.
Even so, I agree with Cheney on this.

I bet there are a lot of things Bush and Cheney didn’t agree on.
