Romney Flip Flops again. Auto bailout was "his idea"

Dittohead not! said:
OK, so you opinion has finished evolving.

How about TARP? Do you think that was a positive, or just another unnecessary addition to the debt?

TARP was a loan and most of it has been paid back therefore the addition to the debt was insignificant
 
And if Obamacare is a major success, will Romney take all the credit for it being his idea too....

so TARP helped the economy then?

I didn't support TARP and based upon the results it doesn't appear that it helped the economy although some economists say it saved the credit markets. Banks however aren't loaning

How will Obamacare be a major success? Creating access doesn't insure improved quality or lower costs as MA has shown. More people trying to access fewer doctors? That the prescription for success?

That is a bit ironic, as I keep asking you to make a better argument for your position and you won't even state what your objections are. :lol:

You basically go about saying Conservative is wrong because he's wrong. True, you did have a decent argument earlier, but most of your replies to him have degraded into "you're wrong." We all know he's wrong. Just bring back the facts man.

The main difference between Ford and GM and Chrysler is that Ford was about eight months ahead of them. They were able to borrow enough money to keep going because did it BEFORE the financial meltdown. If they had waited another six months they would have been in exactly the same boat as GM and Chrysler and would have required a bailout.

That and they had a better balance sheet going in. That said, even if Ford hadn't gotten its restructuring financing earlier, I think GM and Chrysler still would have needed bailout cash. The same reason investors didn't buy into GM and Chrysler would have existed if they hadn't loaned Ford cash.
 
Raise your hand if it shocks you that Romney flip flopped again........anybody? :coffeepap

Then you don't understand how BLS gets its data but that doesn't prevent you from making false statements like you made.

This coming from a user unable to determine when BLS tables are cumulative.

You really shouldn't be talking about that kind of stuff.

LOL, I use the same data for both because debt service for example doesn't matter because it is what it is and is paid yearly. It doesn't change depending on the year. Your baiting has to stop

Did he really just say that? "doesn't change depending on the year?" Jesus Christ. The ignorance is well beyond my instruments capacity to measure.

You have offered no such proof. Now report this post

Are you going to pretend you didn't fail to figure out when BLS data tables are cumulative Mr. "The US population doubles monthly?"

I didn't support TARP and based upon the results it doesn't appear that it helped the economy although some economists say it saved the credit markets. Banks however aren't loaning

Maybe not in your neck of the woods. But overall loans are increasing as evident by anyone who can read and understand a 10K filing. All of the big banks assets in terms of loans are increasing. Granted, you have demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt you have no idea what BLS data actually says, so I shouldn't really expect you to be able to understand a 10K filing.

Again, Romney will say anything and do anything to be President. Newt was right when he said that Romney would buy the Presidency if he could and when he called Romney a liar.
