1. " the month before he had voted in favor of an auto rescue plan that failed in the Senate"
Mon Mar 7, 2016, 01:21 AM
Mar 2016
Sanders seemed shocked by the suggestion since the month before he had voted in favor of an auto rescue plan that failed in the Senate and explained that his vote was more about stopping corporate welfare for failed Wall Street financial institutions under the Troubled Asset Relief Program. But the auto bailout was part of TARP and, at the time, then-President-elect Barack Obama urged support for TARP.
