It was mostly done by Hank in 2008 during the robbery of outgoing Shrub last Fall, but I agree with you. Obama continued the TARP package. He just made it impossible for them to take, by severely restricting the use of these funds on looting - err - bonuses. Then most repaid it. TARP will now pay our country's debt.
He designed a second stimulus, still running - road construction, education, tax cuts, etc., but no banks. Banks called it "socialist", cause they didn't get nothing.
He is trying to reform medicare. I don't pretend to understand what will come out of it, but the need is clear.
There is also quite a bit more accountability with the second stimulus package, available on recovery.gov, as opposed to one by W., which had none at all. Accountability drive is proper, and quite a bit non-Banana, even if not everything is reported right, and things are made look prettier than they actually are. That's normal. Things still suck.
Did I miss something? -g- |
