Re: Should the government bail-out include domestic automakers?

Bailing out Wall Street financial firms vs. Loan guarantees for the Big Three:

White collar vs. blue collar

When comparing the bailout for financial institutions to the bridge loans for the domestic auto industry, Steelworker President Leo Gerard made this comment:

"The people who take a shower before they go to work get bailed out. The people who must take a shower after work get thrown out."

Nice truthful quote!!
