But if the stock market is in trouble, no problem! The government can just hand out $1.5 trillion to calm bankers on Wall Street. https://t.co/szXeqQmalq

This is incredibly dishonest coming from him. He knows how the Fed operates and how federal programs are funded, so all he is doing is misleading voters to fire them up.

It's upsetting that so many people have no clue and are blindly defending him when educated people point out that it's wrong.

Yea he definitely mis-characterized that.

The more general notion that our federal government is absolutely failing at addressing the crisis is still valid though.
