On the funding from the second half of the bailout bill. For some Republicans, politics openly trumps good policy. From WaPo here.

"The Republican base hates this. So a lot of people are saying why anger the base in the name of good policy when it's going to happen anyway?" said Sen. Robert F. Bennett (R-Utah), a senior member of the Senate Banking Committee, which was at the center of negotiations during the TARP's creation.

Kinda makes you wonder about the good folks in Utah who elected this guy.
