re: #68 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Oh, there was a chorus of conservative voices speaking against TARP, but they were drowned out by the horde who was scared shitless that the banks would crash and take their money in the process.

Ironically enough, October ‘08 (when the bottom fell out) was about the same time that Bush hatred became a popular fad amongst the Right. All of a sudden, they all hated the years of overspending and all the stomping of Constitutional rights…after years of silent consent or loud cheering.

It was a scary little bit. I mean, it’s been scary ever since, but at the time, it was just as though the bottom was falling out.
