First off, my reading comprehension level is very good, thank you. But of course, any time you're losing an argument your fall-back seems to be personal attacks. It's part of your "deflection" MO....PREDICATABLE! Regardless, you said:
Thus, it would seem YOU'RE the one with the reading comprehension problem because you made two accusations in one statement, i.e., "Economists 'claim' that TARP bailed us out"...AND..."TARP was Bush's".
Who has the reading comprehension problem now? But I digress...
It's not a claim that Bush initiated TARP. IT IS FACT!
As far as where the repaid TARP funds went, I can't answer that one for directly, but perhaps the answer(s) you seek can be found on any of these three websites:
Tracking the TARP - Old data, but a good starting point that outlines how TARP funds were prioritized.
What You Haven't Heard About TARP - provides detailed and the most up-to-date information on TARP directly from the Treasury Department.
U.S. Office of the SIGTARP : Reports - The government's official TARP website which provides numerous reports concerning TARP, including quarterly reports submitted to Congress (last report, Jan 2011).
That's all I got for now. Happy reading!
