That's the effect. "Collateral damage."
AIG of expensive parties notoriety received upward of $200 billion and what do you think their employees make? How good was their management.
Auto companies are asking for $25 billion total, though it's known that will eventually be $50 billion. And those fat workers, who make very, very little less than the Honda, Nissan folks in the South, do not get to go to spas, play golf, etc., on the Federal tab.
It's a bit like Iraq. People wanted to "get Saddam", and caused untold misery for millions of innocent people.
In this case Conservatives just don't want that money going to benefit working folks. And sucker in many, many other people by claiming to want to teach a company a lesson.
Bullshit.
