McCain said he voted for the Troubled Asset Relief Program because he was told the money would go toward helping the housing market, but instead it went to a Wall Street bailout.
And he lied, or was too dense to understand the meetings he, Obama and Paulson had on TARP....he’s admitting to voting on something he didn’t read...at best.
[snip] Over the last year, John McCain supported everything that the grass-roots Tea Party movement has stood against:
*The $700 billion all-purpose, earmark-stuffed TARP bailout;
*The $25 billion auto bailout;
*The $300 billion mortgage entitlement bailout; and *The first $85 billion AIG bailout.
When push came to shove, McCain and his economic advisers (including his hand-picked California GOP Senate candidate, Carly Fiorina) caved to the Chicken Little chaos in Washington every time and joined hands with Barack Obama.
Reasonable people may not assert that John McCain is an unsurpassed paragon of fiscal responsibility.

McCain: “ And that, my friends, is how I graduated at the bottom of my class at Annapolis”
Little blast from the past:
