re: #114 LudwigVanQuixote

And just to recap… the whole idea of bailouts was pushed by the GOP back when they liked the idea…

From my limited knowledge, it seems to have been the right call on both counts.

Hi Ludwig! That’s true. I guess I view it as a non-partisan panic. I’d think most administrations (of either party) would have had the same sense of “we’ve got to do something” when everything began to tank. And most administrations would have ended up with folks (generally of the opposing party) charging “post hoc ergo propter hoc” - just because the economy turned around doesn’t mean it did so because you guys threw money at it.

Who knows who’s right? I’m not smart enough to know. (Shoot, I probably even spelled post hoc ergo propter hoc wrong!)
