saving the autos. Sanders voted against the Emergency stabilization act which contained 700 billion dollars for autos.(TARP) I remember it well as my husband's job depended on it. His excuse was he would not vote for Wall Street bailouts...and he voted more than once against autos too. And that is why he should never be our nominee. He was willing to allow all those jobs to evaporate because of his ideology...he is far too rigid and uncompromising to govern effectively even if he won a general which is unlikely in my view.... If Bush hadn't taken money out from Tarp funds, the autos would have been lost and we most likely would still be mired in depression. I would add that Sanders voted against releasing the Tarp funds in January after Obama was sworn in; thus further endangering the autos...Obama used the autos to pull us back from the brink, and it was a close thing. Obama orchestrated the most successful bankruptcy in history for the autos...if you don't think this is correct...take a look at Delphi...formerly Packard and their history of bankruptcy.
