Bush changes mind, may save auto giants...

Mr. Bush hasn't changed his MIND, at all - only his tactics. He has been single-mindedly determined to bail-out the U.S. auto industry since their recent "troubles" were made public (and probably before).

Being forced to use funds from the previous " bankers' and billionaires' " bail-out to achieve this IS a bit of a set-back; but the bankers and billionaires can always come back LATER to further engorge themselves at the public trough.

Since the bailout money was supposed to go to the banks to get money flowing back to main street, and Bush seems hell-bent to help the auto industry, why doesn’t he force the banks to use some of their bailout money to shore up the auto makers with loans? Why does the auto industry need its own gubmint ‘bailout’? Don’t most companies go to banks for loans when they’re in trouble? So, we gave the banks some money already to put back in the credit market, so the auto companies can go to the stinking bank and get some of that money. And Bush can make them use it for that, since we gave it to them, right?

I hate this. I need someone to come and bail me out—I’m about to have to put two kids through college.
