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.
Really?? Wasnt it loaning it out what caused the financial problems in the first place? Didnt the Feds telling/forcing them to loan it out make it even worse?
So Obama/Trump will have the feds force the banks to give out more bad loans, then bail them out again with our money, then re-write their pay and compensation packages as punishment? (By the way, a number of banks were forced to take TARP.) You dont see serious problems with Trump's line of economic thinking?
Then he supports Obama’s stimulus , GAG
I wish I could interview him:)
