Democrats Set to Offer Loans for Carmakers reads the headline from this morning's NYT.
Faced with staggering new unemployment figures, Democratic Congressional leaders said on Friday that they were ready to provide a short-term rescue plan for American automakers, and that they expected to hold a vote on the legislation in a special session next week.

The fact is George W. Bush would throw the country into a near depression if he thought that he could get back at the United Auto Workers (UAW) for not supporting his war on the working class and not being one of his crony Iraq War contractors for whom the myth of the free market and competitive innovation remain not very funny jokes.
For now, Democrats will get what they can for the Big Three and next year show the Republicans the meaning of the terms: jobs creation, stimulus and economic rescue for domestic industries as Bush fades off like a prolonged and terrible nightmare for which one gets very busy, very early during the morning to get to work and forget the passing nightmare ever happened.
