Sigh. Lots of senators voted for it, because at that point in time, with everything falling down around our ears, it was the safest move, flaws and all. That particular situation was actually bad enough that a majority of Congress forgot about partisan silliness for a second. Unbelievable, I know. Last I knew, the overwhelming majority of the money had been paid back.

Anyways, score 1 point for you, you can take that one right on to Fox News.
