Rep. Boehner Lies About Wall Street Reform In Ohio Op-Ed
In an April 28, 2010 op-ed in Hillsboro, Ohio's Times Gazette, House Minority Leader John Boehner repeated the Frank Luntz-inspired lie that Wall Street reform would create a permanent bailout fund. In reality, the bill does NOT reward or bail out firms, but safely dismantles "any failed financial company" that threatens the stability of the entire economy. The costs of dissolving these companies are paid NOT by taxpayers, but by fees levied on financial companies.
