According to an article on Townhall.com, roughly $80 billion has been paid out so far, [...]

I question these people who say that a government bailout is the only way a troubled [...]

In the same speech, however, President [...]

In the private sector, a company will spend millions of dollars on a single executive’s pay each year.  This isn’t because the companies are wasteful [...]
