Senate Republicans kill auto bridge-loan

By Creature

They really want to see the United States economy go under. And why? Because they hate unions. The enormity of this ideological blunder by Senate Republicans cannot be overstated. Overnight stocks have already tanked and the U.S. stock market is set to do the same. All eyes now look to George Bush to save the day. How fucked up is that?

Update: Ian Welsh thinks Obama can still twist a few arms. I'm not that hopeful.
