Wall Street? Too big to fail; The Working Class of Detroit? Eat shit

That's the message that this administration is sending. It seems that bullshit, "knowledge-economy" jobs for Ivy League-ers and spoilt fratboys are protected, even after they drive the entire economy into the dirt. The worker of Detroit, on the other hand, is pretty low on the list of priorities. After all, they can't finance a political campaign; and as for the rest of your constituents, you can fire Rick Wagoner to play the populist. They won't notice that you're funneling their tax dollars into the pockets of Lloyd Blankfein and his associates.

Edit: For context, the following quote is from BBC News (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7972464.stm),

"Mr Wagoner had already pledged to cut a fifth of GM's global workforce and close 14 factories. By forcing him to go, President Obama is clearly saying is, that's not enough."
