Bush Bails out Automakers to the Tune of $17.4 Billion

President Bush announced he was bailing out the Big Three this morning.

He said he did it to avoid them going into bankruptcy which would weaken the economy.

He called this move a "stop-gap"measure. Note that Congress wouldn't take this step before going into recess.

I think this bail-out was the wrong thing to do. In typical Bush fashion, he sidestepped Congress to get his own way.
