disingenuity
I read this Reuters story today on Americans being against helping Detroit’s Big Three. This is the self-same America that just authorized $700 billion (with a “B”!) dollars to bail-out struggling financial services companies. Now $25 billion is too much to help keep hundreds of thousands of jobs around? That seems to be a double…
notes to self on flying internationally
