Herman Cain: From TARP-apologist to Mr. Tea Party?

Herman Cain:
From TARP-apologist to Mr. Tea Party?


“If they want to nail me with my support for TARP -- you know what? I'm not going to be able to counter that.” - Herman Cain: My Support For TARP Could Be A Problem, 06/09/11


Back in 2008, Cain wrote that anyone who opposed the financial sector bailout was practicing “economic illiteracy”:
The problem is economic illiteracy…” Far from Nationalization, Purchase of Bank Stocks Is a Win-Win for Taxpayers , 10/20/2008


Cain defended his support of TARP, again and again:
We can take our $700 billion in aspirin now, or wait for a $700 trillion surgery if the economy tanks.” Wall Street and the Disastrous Main Street Ripple Effect That Could Have Been, 09/22/2008

Earth to taxpayers! Owning stock in banks is not nationalization of the banking industry. It’s trying to solve a problem. Owning a part of the major banks in America is not a bad thing. We could make a profit while solving a problem.” Far from Nationalization, Purchase of Bank Stocks Is a Win-Win for Taxpayers , 10/20/2008

The free market purists’ objection to this is that it smacks at government control of the banking industry, which is called nationalization. They are correct. It smacks...” Far from Nationalization, Purchase of Bank Stocks Is a Win-Win for Taxpayers , 10/20/2008


…and believed that TARP would work just fine:
“Now don’t tell Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, but if this works, and I believe it will, the Bush Administration will have gotten this one right. “ Far from Nationalization, Purchase of Bank Stocks Is a Win-Win for Taxpayers , 10/20/2008

The actions by the Treasury are a win-win for the taxpayer. Far from Nationalization, Purchase of Bank Stocks Is a Win-Win for Taxpayers , 10/20/2008

These actions by the Treasury, the Federal Reserve Bank and the actions by the Federal Depositors Insurance Corporation (FDIC) … these actions have a high probability of success.” Far from Nationalization, Purchase of Bank Stocks Is a Win-Win for Taxpayers , 10/20/2008
