Bailout Hypocrisy

If it wasn't obvious to you before, the governments handling of the [two bailout](http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/nov2008/pers-n25.shtml) requests shows exactly whose interest they are looking out for.

>All are agreed: When it comes to Wall Street, no limits will be placed on the amount of taxpayers' money that will be doled out with no strings attached. For the auto industry, however, any government aid is too much, unless it is paid for through merciless concessions imposed upon its workers.

But even more insidious, not only are they not looking out for us, they actually want to take away everything the working class has struggled to achieve.

>In the impending bankruptcy of the auto companies, the ruling elite sees an opportunity to carry out a massive attack on living standards, working conditions and social benefits, thereby forcing the working class to pay for the crisis.
