Allentown, PA – In its latest video, the Toomey campaign offers the media a glimpse inside Bailout Joe’s very own scrapbook, detailing his numerous bailout votes and the $54,000 he has taken from all the banks and mortgage companies he voted to bail out.
Bailout Joe voted for every single taxpayer-funded bailout offered on the floor of the House of Representatives:
- The Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bailout (RC #519, 07/23/08)
- The first Wall Street bailout (RC #681, 10/03/08)
- The bailout of the auto companies (RC #690, 12/10/08)
- The second Wall Street bailout (RC #27, 01/22/09)
It should come as no surprise that Bailout Joe has also taken $54,016 from the entities he voted to bailout and $25,000 from the United Auto Workers, one of the happy beneficiaries of the taxpayer-funded auto bailout (opensecrets.org).
“So, Congressman Joe Sestak voted to send billions in tax dollars to AIG, Fannie Mae, and Bank of America, and they returned the favor with thousands in campaign contributions,” Toomey Communications Director Nachama Soloveichik said. “Nice deal for Joe, bad deal for Pennsylvania taxpayers.”
“It’s clear that Congressman Sestak will stand with irresponsible corporations over Pennsylvania taxpayers every time. In contrast Pat Toomey opposed every bailout every time. Pat believes it is fundamentally unfair to force taxpayers to bail out companies when they take risks and act irresponsibly.”
