That used to be s shock line and you had to do some creative

uh no. the trillion is dead nuts on

The TARP (and other handouts) cost twice that much in one tenth the
time.

and the TARP saved the banking system, created over 1M jobs and
prevented a great depression

We didn't even create any jobs. At least The Iraq war employed
lots of people for 10 years making

uh huh. according to a consensus of economists interviewed monday by
USAToday, the TARP created about 1.2M jobs

and the iraq war killed 4400 americans

is that how you right wingers view money? **** it away in useless wars
that create terrorism, kill young americans and make war profiteers
like dick cheney's halliburtoin rich...

but TARP was uselss 'cuz it didn't allow unemployment to to go 25%?

Surprising to see you praising a Bush policy decision with such vigor.
I still think it was a big gift to a lot of rich people.

The idea that it "saved or created" any jobs has been pretty much
debunked. Just in the tiny little State of CT, we had new districts
created and all kinds of other "oooooops" moments, all on the positive
side for the media

Just because you have no job skills and are unemployable doesn't mean
others are in your burning boat.

It's far worse than that: Tosk is an ill-educated, uninformed,
skill-less hippy wannabe who couldn't hold down a job sweeping streets.

The Bush "policy" decision was that he didn't want to be known as the
president who caused the world financial markets to collapse. He had to be
pushed into it by Paulson, et. al.

Correct. He had no choice. Always got pushed around by others.
But he redeemed himself by resisting Cheney's effort to have him pardon
Scooter. So he came out of his 8 years in fine shape, and so it will be
written when the history of his Presidency is scribed.
BTW, I apologize for calling you "toots." Didn't want to sound sexist.
Is honeybuns ok? Seems pretty neutral, but I'm not real sure.

actually it was bernanke. and it was a keynesian policy that bush had
to implement because the monetarism of greenspan had collapsed.
