Guys, we must be watching different news because I have seen Republicans more against bailing out Wall Street than Dems. Now they aren't asking the likes of AIG or Fannie Mae (which Dems have taken millions from) to not only step down, but they are actively looking into putting them in prison!
Excerpt:
"The measure, which is designed to get battered lending markets working normally again, needed 218 votes for passage. But it came up 13 votes short of that target, with a final vote of 228 to 205 against. Two-thirds of Democrats and one-third of Republicans voted for the measure."
Also, you can't compare the two. The former (Wall Street) has been shown to be profitable for years and years. The later (Big 3 Auto) have been failing for years now. They are "burning" through BILLIONS monthly. Plus, the public is making LOUD NOISES that they do NOT want the bail out of the auto companies.
The unions are THE CULPRIT for the Big 3 Auto failing. Unions have made our country incapable of competing in the world!! They are a death grip on anything they are involved in that has competition from out of the country. The union has a monopoly that has to be broken for the sake of the workers and our economy.
Check this comparison out. Big 3 wages are in the $74+ and the other auto companies nearly half of that! You can't compete with those figures.
