2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Bernie vs. Hillary memes have conquered the Internet. Time for a fact-check [View all]
Iraq War Authorization:
Sanders- As a caring Nation, we should do everything we can to prevent the horrible suffering that a war will cause. War must be the last recourse in international relations, not the first.
Clinton- I come to this decision from the perspective of a Senator from New York who has seen all too closely the consequences of last years terrible attacks on our nation. In balancing the risks of action versus inaction, I think New Yorkers who have gone through the fires of hell may be more attuned to the risk of not acting. I know that I am.
Correct
Wall Street Bailout (TARP):
Sanders- This bill does not effectively address the issue of oversight because the oversight board members have all been hand picked by the Bush administration. This bill does not effectively deal with the issue of foreclosures and addressing that very serious issue, which is impacting millions of low- and moderate-income Americans in the aggressive, effective way that we should be.
Clinton- Voted in support of the $800 million tax-payer TARP bailout.
Correct
