Democrats now scrambling to get support for the Auto industry bailout, actually are pulling the "Defense card" and saying if the "BIG 3" fall that our enemies will see us as weak and laugh at us (Jackson-Lee on FOX) and others saying that we would loose the capacity to make tanks? Really? Meanwhile you are rolling in ALL of the former Clinton administration that took the military down by 47% by the end of 1997, and prior to the auto industry hearings, Chairman Barney Franks who is neck deep in causing the initial colapse with Fannie/Freddie, called for reducing the military by 25% anyways!
How do you explain a 25% cut in the Defense as not a problem but auto industry not being bailed out a crippling of the Defense Dept? Fact is, Democrats have been in bed with Labor Unions for over 50 years now. Domestic steel was on life support back when Bush was comming into office, and the "rust belt" lost a ton of jobs! The defense of auto industry to fail would cost many other industries to fail as well, yet why was their not a call for the bailout of the housing industry with all the unionized bricklayers, carpenters, etc. Nobody cared that appliance makers would go under, Home Depot/Lowes would suffer, etc. Maybe if they had done this it would have exposed people like Franks and Dodd who have been concealing the socialization of the housing market until it imploded.
I can't wait to see how they plan on trying to blame Bush for this! The economy didn't start to crumble until Democrats had their first full year in office after 2006! I tell ya, this is gonna be something to watch!
