Remember how opposed Republican Senators were to any kind of help for the U.S. automobile industry, claiming that the carmakers' woes were due entirely to the "greed"
(sic) of rank-and-file UAW members? Now that it's Toyota and
Nissan -- companies with factories in the states of those same Republican Senators -- who are tanking, let's see how long it takes for these same Republicans to demand help for the factories in their own states:
Nissan Motor on Monday joined Toyota, Mazda and Mitsubishi in forecasting a loss for the current financial year, and announced it was cutting 20,000 workers in one of the most aggressive cutbacks so far by a Japanese company since the start of the global downturn.
What part of "If you don't have a job, you aren't going to buy a car" -- or a house, for that matter -- do Republicans not understand?
