Hillary nailed Bernie on the auto bailout.

[DCBob]

That's Michigan's biggest issue and Bernie voted against the bill that saved the MI auto industry. That is likely the main thing most MI voters watching this will take away from this debate.

Hillary wins.

1. But

Wall Street!!!

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. Did he vote to bail out the auto industry?

Yes, or no?

[basselope]

7. He PROPERLY voted against TARP

But was a supporter of the Auto Bailout, but that was about 10% of TARP:

[DCBob]

8. He voted against the original bill that included auto bailout provisions.

[DCBob]

9. No she didnt. He voted against the original bailout bill that included auto bailout provisions.

That's a fact.. correct?

[timlot]

5. Wall Street, Big Banks, Billionaires, top 1/10 of 1%

Bernie had his reasons. :/

[riversedge]

11. Yes, Bernie resorts to those terms all the time. Boring.

[Lizzie Poppet]

6. He's gutted her on everything else...

...and the debate's playing to a national audience. Non-auto states voters don't give a rat's ass about the auto bailout.

[DCBob]

10. Not really.

She nailed him on the import/export bank as well.

[Armstead]

26. No...Bernie made the point with Bank of Boeing

[dsc]

[Samantha]

15. Not quite accurate

http://www.vpr.net/news_detail/83206/leahy-sanders-reluctantly-support-auto-industry-rescue

(Host) Vermont's two U.S. Senators, Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders, say they're reluctantly supporting a $15 billion rescue package for the nation's auto industry.

Both senators say that allowing Ford, General Motors or Chrylser to fall into bankruptcy could affect a lot of auto related jobs in Vermont.

* * *

Senator Bernie Sanders voted against the $700 billion bail out of the financial services industry but he says this package is different:

(Sanders) "The problem is if you don't act in the midst of a growing recession what does it mean to create a situation where millions of more people become unemployed and that could spread and I have serious concerns about that I think it would be a terrible idea to add millions more to the unemployment rolls."

[DCBob]

17. He did vote against the original bailout bill that included auto bailout provisions.

Correct?

[Samantha]

20. but supported the second version, as you can see from the quoted material (eom)

[DCBob]

22. Without the first bill the auto industry would have likely collapsed.

IMO.

[Samantha]

30. Not really

The funds to bail out Detroit were actually "siphoned" out of the TARP funds. Eventually, loans were established and a lot of the money was paid back. Wall Street didn't pay back a dime.

18. Dishonest

Bernie was absoutely in favor of, and voted for, the auto bailout. The bill you speak of was the larger bailout bill, of which a small part was the auto bailout.

[DCBob]

19. Without the original bill the auto industry would have likely collapsed.

The bill Bernie supported would have been too late.

[dreamnightwind]

21. Why not a line of credit

like they gave to the large banks, in addition to TARP? The FED did this. The auto manufacturers had morphed into financial institutions as much as they were car companies, something that needs wider attention.

[Vattel]

23. Let's get the facts straight.

In December of 2008, Bernie voted for the first auto bailout bill, the one that died in the Senate. He voted against the big bailout bill that included an auto bailout the next year.

[DCBob]

25. I think Hillary was referring to the original tarp bailout..

which contained provisions for the auto industry. Bernie voted against that.

[Vattel]

27. But he voted for the earlier auto bailout bill.

[tawadi]

24. Agreed. nt

[lunamagica]

29. Yes, she did!
