Bailout filibuster was class warfare

I am no big fan of the Detroit automakers.  I initially opposed their bailout, and only grudgingly supported it when it was scaled back and got some teeth put into it.

But then Republican Senators from states with foreign auto plants killed it.

Suddenly I realized that this was another skirmish in the Republicans' continuing war on working people.  And, suddenly, I became ready to march in the streets in favor of the bailout.
