The GOP Against American Workers

Remember the debate a few years back about whether or not General Motors and Chrysler should be helped by the federal government to stay afloat? Every Republican outside the state of Michigan seemingly opposed the help to the US auto industry. Thank goodness that was not the prevailing wisdom in Washington. Today the US auto industry are already paying off those loans back to the federal government and are creating thousands of new jobs for Americans.

Here is a great spot put together by the Democratic National Committee and Democrats.org that shows Republicans in their own words advocating to let this industry collapse.

Watch. This is great stuff!
