  • Wall Street gets bailed out first because they bought our politicians. They just got showered in money for collapsing the economy. When the working class asks for a LOAN they get tough love ("love for the rich tough for everybody else." that's a chomsky line btw.) Paulson even personally went to Congress so that he could bail out his buddies on the Street. Did the treasury secretary go to bat for the auto industry? Hell no! This is a national outrage!

  • Keep letting these corporations suck you dry America. You think the government isn't going to give them that bailout? Just like the Wallstreet one right? Tell me, did your economy strengthen after the first bail out? Didn't think so. Just stay in your homes America and don't think too much, the government has it all under control.

  • Blank check for wall street..Ok?$700? No plan do what you want with it,Auto needs bridge loan...come back with plan? Mitt Romney says fuck them go bankrupt,do away with unions..pay people 7.50 no health care Screw Bush and the rich! Screw Mitt! Employee free choice act! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
