This is minor from a fiscal sense. It is the bankster welfare queens that are costing this country trillions. The carmaker bailout isn’t even going to amount to $200 billion most likely. Pocket change really.

IMHO, small potatoes stuff like this is being done to distract clueless people like FLU from the immense looting that is being done by the banks.

Actually, as near as I can tell, FLU has always been in favor of massive welfare for the super-rich while focussing his ire on the relatively minor amounts of welfare going to the people in the form of food stamps, unemployment benefits, and the like. I find this ironic now that FLU is actually a ward of the state himself. It’s quite hypocritical, but like most hypocrites he doesn’t even realize it.
