Reply #54: Because the bill wasn't a scam [View All]

Just because something comes from the Bush administration doesn't mean that it is automatically a scam. Bush was too dumb to even have say in it, and Paulson was forced to accept the fact that his economic philosophy was fatally flawed.

This bill wasn't popular with any politician, both Democrats and Republicans, but something had to be done about the situation or else the financial system would completely collapse. There wasn't much choice in the matter and Obama saw that this was a necessary course of action. He is a smart man and knows what he is doing.
