Will there be any repercussions for Senate Republicans who blocked passage of the interim auto bailout bill two weeks before Christmas? They basically said to America, we don’t like you; so, we are going to put coal in your stocking for Christmas. The White House, Treasury and the Fed may save the day for average Americans, or maybe not. The Republicans apparently don’t care if GM goes bankrupt on Christmas Eve. Scrooge would be proud! Mitch McConnell, Richard Shelby, and company plan to take Tiny Tim’s crutch and beat him over the head with it. Merry Christmas!
