Bush Action on Autos Better Late Than Never

Having screwed up every facet of American life in the last eight years, George Bush apparently decided that the Herbert Hoover comparisons were hitting too close to home.

His approval on Friday (December 19, 2008) of a loan to the American auto industry came weeks after it should have. If Bush had acted weeks ago, Congress would not have had to waste all that time wrangling over something Republicans were never going to allow to happen.

But then American workers never would have found out what Southern Republicans really think of them.

BTW, buried in that Reuters story is the news that Toyota expects to lose money this year. My heart bleeds.

While you are bashing Bush, will you please take some time out to inform your forum's vast audience about Andy Dillon's attack on working people.

As Speaker of the House, Dillon had in his hands a ban on smoking in all bars and restaurants. But he let the bill die because he didn't want to upset his party's sugar daddies at big corporate out-of-state casinos.

Can't you encourage people to contact Mr. Dillon and urge him to put people over profits?
