On Corporations: Opposed Obama stimulus; supported Bush's bank bailout

He said the 2009 approximately $800 billion economic stimulus package backed by Obama was overloaded with spending that would not improve the economy and he compared it to a doctor treating a heart condition by severing the patient's leg. Cassidy supported the final version of the 2008 $700 billion bailout for the financial industry, passed during President George W. Bush's administration. He supported the bailout because it contained some tax relief for hurricane victims. Source: Wall Street Journal on 2020 Louisiana Senate race Feb 5, 2009
