The auto bailout was a business solvency issue which has long term structural business problems, whereas the banking industry had a liquidity problem where the short term panic caused a run on the banks. Big difference.People should actually be more pissed off at GM and Chrysler than they are at Wall Street vis-a-vis bailouts.
I think anyone that has actually owned a dodge or a chevy is already plenty pissed at them.
