>> That was passed under Bush... Bush wanted the whole $700B but the Democratic congress said let's wait and see on the second half.

It was passed under Bush but Obama spent it. Had Bush been in control of those funds they apparently would have been spent in a more fiscally responsible way.

Not that I thought it was good at the time. I didn't, I opposed it, and I think we could have survived just fine without it. But in the end, it is clear that the Bush portion of the TARP money saved the economy from some much harder times.
