wish i could also. but i can’t. i’m stuck.
and HOW did Boehner get to be speaker after this:
“Boehner said the same thing before the TARP vote. He said the exact same thing. He wasn’t Speaker then but before the TARP vote in 2000 he said, “It’s crucial. We’re at a pressure point in the country where we can’t let ideological purity stand in the right thing to do.” “
the Boehner plan adds TRILLIONS to the debt.
and for the first time, EVER, i am disappointed in Colonel West.
doing NOTHING, and letting the ceiling hit, is still better than the Boehner plan.
(the USA AAA rating is GOING to be downgraded either way.)
Colonel West, for the first time i know of in his life,
is NOT making the best decision for his country.
At least almost all of TARP has been repaid, still about $65 Billion not paid back but nowhere near the $700 Billion that was allocated and the $410 Billion actually paid out
None of which repaid TARP was credited back towards reducing the “Bush deficit”, btw...
Barky still looks us in the eye and claims to have “inherited” over a Trillion in deficit from the previous administratuon
and absolutely NO ONE calls him out on why $350 BILLION in repaid TARP (and profit) was not used back against the deficit
or what happened to the hundreds of Billions in repaid TARP
Alan West flinched in the clinch. He is not material for leadership.
