Alexi Giannoulias on Budget & Economy

Bush-Cheney policies bailed out banks & created crisis

The large banks that caused the near-collapse of the global financial system were bailed out by taxpayers and have used the money on bonuses for their executives.

Voters of Illinois will be faced with a clear choice: go back to the reckless Bush-Cheney fiscal policies Mark Kirk supported that cost this state hundreds of thousands of jobs and created the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, or move forward to fundamentally change our economy and create the next generation of good jobs.
