I’m no expert, but I saw on another site’s comments (Belmont Club) that Perry had opposed TARP. There’s a lot of spew out there.
Perry is always for it before he was against it before he was for it. It is just like the QE that gave him his state stimulus money, he used to balance his state budget, but he was against the money printing but he was for the 82 billion balancing the state budget.
