Priorities, ya know

Ian Welsh has a cynical take on the $700 billion bail out:

... [T]he real job of the bailout was to save Congress's white collar friends. The real goal of not passing a bill that gives auto companies 25 billion, a fraction of the 700 billion given to Wall Street so they could give themselves 70 billion of bonuses, is to destroy a major union.

Priorities, ya know.
