This is sad...
Apparently the Republicans see a huge difference between bailing out banks, and saving nearly 3 million blue collar jobs. That was obvious from their rhetoric leading up to this vote when they used lies about auto workers pay, and heaped anti union conditions on any bailout loan.
Here's the thing, all the Big 3 auto execs. should be replaced. They have done a terrible job running their companies and marketing their products. They have climbed into bed with big oil, and they cling to that dinosaur, even as it too is dying. The auto workers are extremely productive, make a good product (GM has more cars that get better than 30 miles per gallon than Toyota), and have been a major economic driver of our economy over the last 50 years.
If these moron Senators from the South are willing to throw away an entire industry, and three million good paying jobs, so the UAW can be busted, and the foreign auto makers are the only ones left, so be it....it will be their bad karma come re-election time. But hopefully, smarter people will prevail and this can still be saved.
