Episode description

The Daily Show time travels back to this day in 2008: The Secretary of Treasury had just proposed a $700 billion economic recovery plan to bail out the failing banking industry, causing outrage from American taxpayers. Jon Stewart is joined by John Oliver for an analysis on how dire the situation could get, and President Clinton sits down with Jon to break down why Americans are upset, and what the federal government could be doing instead of writing a blank check to the banks.
