By the way, I have always wanted more accountability around all of the "no-bid" military contracts handed out that totaled billions of taxpayer dollars. I believe that was a far worse use of tax dollars. Paying $600 to a contractor to do military laundry... the list is endless. One day, someone is going to do a really good documentary about Haliburton, Black Watch etc.
You may recall that during the presidential election, the Treasury Department refused requests by General Motors to unload the government's stake in the giant automaker.
Taxpayers had sunk $50 billion into a union bailout in 2009 and were now proud owners of 26.5 percent of the struggling company. Reportedly, GM had growing concerns that the stigma of "Government Motors" was hurting sales in the United States. At the time, any transaction would have come at a steep loss to taxpayers and undermined the president's questionable campaign assertions that the auto union rescue had been a huge success.
Well,...
Libbies - endlessly blinded by their ideology, law, facts, and actual results notwithstanding.
Go ahead - explain how it all depends on the "meaning of 'is.'"
