Feingold says he opposed policies that led to collapse | Hudson Star-Observer | Hudson, Wisconsin

Feingold says he opposed policies that led to collapse | Hudson Star-Observer | Hudson, Wisconsin: "he pointed out that he voted against the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program signed into law by President George W. Bush in October 2008."
That is one thing for which I can thank him.

"Feingold asserted that he “didn’t vote for all of the deficit spending that occurred particularly during the Bush years.”" So he voted for some but not all -- that's not very convincing.

"He also highlighted his vote against the Medicare Part D prescription drug program, which he called “a huge gift to the pharmaceutical industry.”"
True!

“Huge new tax cuts for the wealthy will cause the (deficit reduction) bus to explode,”
Tax cuts can increase revenues -- that has been proved.

"Feingold also blasted Johnson, his presumed opponent in the general election, for opposing the development of high-speed rail service in Wisconsin."
The costs will reduce jobs more than the few jobs that thr train creates!
