Between the $700 bil finance-sector bailout and the $25 bil (and counting) in gimme loans to the former Big Three, many other economic sectors ardently hope to get a cut of the first $250 bil of bailout money, or new bailout-type programs.
And, in what is either his most blatant Rust Belt pandering yet, or a worrisome sign of financial giveaways to pound more sand down a rathole, Obama’s campaign office said Friday he supports the formerly Big Three getting a cut of the first $250 bil of bailout money in addition to the $25 bil in gimme guaranteed loans.
It’s still not too late to vote Green instead of rewarding these anti-environmentalist dinosaurs.
Or a campaign that’s looking more Bill Clinton-like on economic policy all the time.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
