Bailing out working folks vs Bailing out greedy Wall St types
Where was the outrage when $700b was handed out to WS without conditions. And, just now, we are learning they are not using the funds as intended. Where was the outrage when hundreds of billions were being blown to rebuild IRAQ -- a country, by the way, that has billions of dollars sitting in reserve surpluses.

But, now, everyone is up in arms that maybe the automakers and their millions of hard working employee might get a little help over a hard time so as to allow the US to have at least ONE successful manufacturing base.

1. Oh there was outrage aplenty. What was lacking was political representation for working people.

But there's been plenty of outage at what is going on and has been going on.
