Maybe you are retarded for ignoring the facts.
Fact is, the tarp used for financial firms has been a huge success. The democrats bastardizing it and using it to bail out GM and Chrysler has not.
“has been a huge success”
I don’t disagree with you, but my only question is were we really “looking into an abyss”? I realize there was a lot of turmoil in the financial sector - but would things truly have collapsed if we did nothing? I am just a layman, but I do understand that it was not in our best interests to let the financial market crash. I guess what I am driving at - as a layman, how do we know we weren’t being taken for a ride? I was really uncomfortable with the “need for speed”.
