Buck McKeon Stimulates Bankers, Sticks It to Workers

Former banker Buck McKeon voted for the $700 billion banker bailout, but against the creating jobs for low-income and middle-class workers.

In today's address, President Obama takes note of this outrage:
Last year Congress passed a plan to rescue the financial system. While the package helped avoid a financial collapse, many are frustrated by the results -- and rightfully so. Too often taxpayer dollars have been spent without transparency or accountability. Banks have been extended a hand, but homeowners, students, and small businesses that need loans have been left to fend on their own.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 is supported by many Republican governors, but not by obstructionist Buck McKeon, who wants socialism for Wall Street and Darwinism for Main Street.

Here is President Obama's address in full:
