So.
You want to paint all GOP'ers and conservatives as having been supportive of them.
You are mistaken.
Actually Bush should have been viewed heroically by the blems who's ideoligy this crap is closer to.
It is impossible to prove the bailouts were necessary by any means, but it won't stop idiots from trying.
I guess some of us just want to believe that an out-going president wouldn't try to screw the country by falsify claiming something like those massive bailouts were necessary if they weren't. Considering the U.S.A. wasn't the only country giving bailouts in the same time frame, I think that's a pretty good assumption. China, for example, spend 4 trillion yuan on one of their bailouts.
Of course all the conservatives are against it now, but where was the outrage at the time? I don't recall nary a peep from any Fox News driven tea parties then, tisk tisk.
Umm, you don't recall during the final weeks of the campaign, when McCain voted for the bailout, all the rucus about him loosing the election right there?

Actually, it's impossible for somebody like you to prove a negative. You can't prove that it didn't work.
Then we're at a stalemate. The bailouts neither worked nor didn't work.

I, on the other hand, can easily conclude that we are NOT in the middle of a depression and that many of the big banks have been restored back to health.
We weren't in the middle of a depression in 1930 either.

I don't recall mass hysteria and signs called him a commie...no. Nor do I recall that reaction to Bush when he introduced TARP. Do you remember any Bush posters that said "Socialist" on them?
