It looks like Joe Barton (R-Bailoutistan) is on the “Why the hell not?” bandwagon:
“If we can give the AIG’s and the Wells Fargos and the JPMorgans of the world — each of those individual companies — between $40 and $45 billion,” then certainly the carmakers deserve a $15 billion bridge loan.
The key word there is “deserve.” I believe it was Aristotle who defined justice as “Giving each man the bailout he deserves.”
