I don't mean in the sense that they stabilized the country, but that the actual deals have generated $300bn+ in profit on top of the paybacks.
 
I'm sure some already knew this, but I was surprised to read this earlier today.

It was an $850bil disaster where only 15% of that went to where it was supposed to. Remember those “shovel ready jobs?” Never happened

So when The Government (i.e taxpayer) sold GM its stock back at half price, that was a good deal?

OP was referring to the Bush-directed T.A.R.P.

Please discuss Bush's successor in the "Coronavirus Challenge: Lick the toilet seat" thread.
