You agree with Trump in that interview? You claim that all Republicans supported Obama’s stimulus in February 2009?
Congress needs to force banks to give out money again and then cap the excecutives pay when they fail because those loans go bad and taxpayers (Trump) bail them out again? That makes sense to you?
He said he didn’t think it was the right stimulus but something should be done. Most Republicans said “SOME” stimulus should be done but NOT Obama’s.
He’s FAR from perfect or as conservative as I’d like, but he seems to “get it.”
I have mixed feelings on capping pay, in general it’s an emphatic NO but yeah, there was taxpayer money involved...so I flip flop on that issue myself.
The loan part? Well that was the *intent* of TARP. To loan it out. That’s just not what they did with it. Whether TARP itself should have occurred is a different issue, but a LOT of Republicans (including Bush himself) supported it for similar reasons to what Trump mentioned. Even I personally (grudgingly) did back then.
And FWIW most of it has been paid back.
